Another Geeqie user, excellent for comparisons/explorations.
For culling images before importing them into darktable, I now use FastRawViewer with wine. Equally fast as under Windows, it’s a great tool for judging the quality or potential of your capture, rather than a specific rendition of it. I have minor “problems” with fonts on the splash screen and in the preference tree. Everything else works as it should.
I do that upfront using Rapid Photo Downloader to a staging area. One way to add it conveniently to geeqie for single images or a selection would be to configure e.g. exiftool with the respective parameters as a ‘plugin’ in Geeqie.
Another vote for Geeqie. It’s fast, deletes both raw and jpeg at the same time when culling, and has split screen options to compare two photos. I also use XnViewMP quite a bit, mainly for batch functions.
Hallo paulmatth,
thanks for this tip. However, it is not very practical if I want to select the best one from several shots of a motif. Geeqie, XnViewMP and many others can do that much more comfortably.
Nevertheless thanks
geeqie (is both digital contact sheet and one at a time viewer) that can spawn Darktable and/or Gimp, for the currently selected image (which might be a raw).
i’m also using geeqiee, but i find the plugin system to be frustrating and i am constantly missing the “copy image” (which copies the entire image, as opposed to its path) to the clipboard. considering nomacs (but it was removed from debian), feh (a bit hard to use) and gthumb (doesn’t recurse in directories, which makes browsing darktable libraries frustrating).
i’m trying to keep my flatpak intake to a minimum. an image viewer seems too “core” to delegate that way… Especially since there are so many great options out there…
I was able to paste the copied image into the Gimp. I guess you can add it to Geeqie as a plugin (you need to start the server part of the tool at login, probably).
yeah well, other image views (even the builtin GNOME eog) do this right, so that’s really a point against geeqie in my book. see also the “found the plugin system frustrating”.
