sud_crow Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 I was looking for an image viewer for the console, in first place, any program able to show pics, but if i get picky... well, a good program! Also, if there is any for X kind of irfanview for windows, i really miss that one. Im thinking on ussing it with WINE, but the last version i wanted to use it i had to delete a directory (someone over here gave the tip) to make it work. Any way, if there is a good native im. viewer, better. I already searched trough sourceforge and freshmeat, but they dont have good search options, and i couldnt find any fitting my needs. Any help, really apreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Page 6 Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Well, offhand, I know of fbv, which will display images in the framebuffer. I've never used it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 closest to irfanview I've seen is gThumb (gnome). http://gthumb.sourceforge.net/ http://www.gnome.org/softwaremap/projects/gthumb/ http://freshmeat.net/projects/gthumb/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud_crow Posted July 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 Well, thnx, im downloading the gThumb now, about the other, is there any link or something? a bit more specific.... I suppouse there is some good prog for the console, because i used to have one for DOS a long time ago (SEA was its name as far as i remember), so im not going to believe that Linux doesnt have one....

Guest Page 6 Posted July 20, 2003 Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 fbv: fbv is a simple program to view pictures on a framebuffer console. http://s-tech.elsat.net.pl/fbv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Page 6 Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 There's also aview/asciiview. It only displays ascii art. It's pretty nice, but there are some file format limitations (that can be worked around), here's the description from man aview This manual page documents briefly the aview, and asciiview commands. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. aview/asciiview is a program that show files with ascii-art. aview support zooming/unzooming, three dithering modes, Inversion, Contrast, Bright, Gamma control and can save into many formats (html, text, ansi more/less etc...). The aview can only show files in the PNM file for- mat. But the asciiview program convert the file formats to PNM (with extern programs like NetPBM and ImageMagic) and start aview. It's sup- port the driver from the aalib. Normaly slang, x11 and stdout. It sup- port the mousedriver (X11 and gpm) too. http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/aview/ Some views (click on the image for full size view): P.S.: Yeah... it says 4 hour uptime... stupid power failures...

bvc Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 found another fbi This is an image viewer for Linux frame buffer devices. It has built-insupport for a number of common image file formats. For unknown files, it tries to use convert from the ImageMagick package as an external converter. Sorry no link, I found it using synaptic while in Debian. A quick google should find its home though. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aru Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 For the console: zgv (1) - picture viewer for VGA/SVGA displays zgv lets you view pictures on Linux boxes with VGA/SVGA displays. The kinds of pictures it supports are raster- format pictures (sometimes called `bitmaps' and/or `pixmaps'); things like GIF files, JPEG files, PNG files, and so on. (The full list of file formats supported is listed elsewhere. See Supported File Formats.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
