mtweidmann Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Kuickshow is good, very simple with no extra features to hog memory. Plus easy to remember key shortcuts: Enter = fullscreen/window Page up = previous file Page down = next file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandrake_alf Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 I vote Kuickshow too... There is a Linux version of XNView (a window$ image browser) with slidshow and all that. It will also animate gif and png animations... I'm don't remember it coming in a RPM for mandrake but the install from tarball was no big deal. Works great. Only issue was starting it in browser mode. You have to involk it 'xnview -browser' but that info is in the man pages.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramfree17 Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 my vote goes to gqview. i think it will be more to your liking. im an ACDSee fan myself. :) ciao! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 my vote konquerer with extra large icons picture thubnails but there are heaps of image apps for linux play with them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeoneil Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Very similar to ACDSee is PixiePlus. The home page pixieplus seems to be out of action but you get it from here (RPMSeek) M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 A second vote for gqview; it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uiler Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Kuickshow is good, very simple with no extra features to hog memory. Plus easy to remember key shortcuts: Enter = fullscreen/window Page up = previous file Page down = next file You don't even need to Page Up/Down. If you have a wheel mouse you can just roll the wheel up or down to move to the next image. Very handy at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chin808 Posted November 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Very similar to ACDSee is PixiePlus. The home page pixieplus seems to be out of action but you get it from here (RPMSeek)M. <----- this is what I look like right now... I am really new at linux and cannot get any of the viewers I downloaded installed with the exception of XNView, which I really didnt care for. I was really glad to see pixieplus because thats what I wanted originally but the site is down - so thanx. I got the rpm but of course there is unsatisfied devel(libm) BAH I got some documantation on urpmi but am having a hard time finding anything "n00b" enough to get it right evidently. I think I need to chill for a min b4 my head breaks open and my molten brain oozes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 If you want to avoid dependency issues, stick with the mandrake rpms --- these usually have mdk at the end of the file name. And stick to the stuff on your install discs, such as kwickview or gqview. If either pixieplus or gthumb interests you --- these are available on mandrake ftp sites in the contribs folder, such as: ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/mandra....2/contrib/i586 I have tried them all and wound up switching from pixieplus to gthumb, because pixie was not completely finished (as of only a few months ago) and gthumb has another cool feature where it produces web ready photo galleries.

chin808 Posted November 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 if m not mistaken gthumb is for gnome no? as for the gqview I didnt realise this was on my cd.... hmmm Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 that is correct Name: gthumbVersion: 2.1.4-1.norlug Summary: An image viewer and browser for GNOME. Description: gThumb lets you browse your hard disk, showing you thumbnails of image files. It also lets you view single files (including GIF animations), add comments to images, organize images in catalogs, print images, view slideshows, set your desktop background, and more. But works well while I am in kde (probably need gnome installed tho) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chin808 Posted November 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 as for the gqview I didnt realise this was on my cd. Actually I couldnt fine either of these on cd1 or 2 :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
