I like gThumb. Itâs color managed, looks good.
Ditto for me. An excellent utility. I use it mostly for batch resizing (resolution and dimensions)
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).
Itâs not color managed here on a wide gamut screen. Maybe I have an older version?
Dunno, maybe.
iâm also using geeqiee, but i find the plugin system to be frustrating and i am constantly missing the âcopy imageâ (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 (doesnât recurse in directories, which makes browsing darktable libraries frustrating).
iâm trying to keep my flatpak intake to a minimum. an image viewer seems too âcoreâ to delegate that way⌠Especially since there are so many great options out thereâŚ
Iâve now done a search and found this:
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 thatâs really a point against geeqie in my book. see also the âfound the plugin system frustratingâ.
I was just trying to help.
ah well, sorry for my response, and thanks for the suggestion then.
Geeqie without any doubts.
Pretty functional, super quick, lot of features and itâs also able to manage sidecar files.
I use it for the first culling operation after a photo session.
XnView was my preferred some years ago, but, as of today, itâs too sluggish compared to geeqie!
Never tried, I will, for batch resizing ImageMagick resize
is enough for me!
I donât resize jpegâs anymore. If I do itâs Image (or Graphics) Magick. Instead I export a new file from Rawtherapee (previously darktable).
The real pain in this process is the metadata handling, due to poor xmp support, but mentally the Raw file is the master for me and all exported files are just temporary children exported for one specific purpose or another.
Indeed xmp management is usually poor. Geeqie is able to deal with it as long as itâs one file per image. For example darktable creates sidecar files with a slightly different filename (with version number included) when there is multiple versions of the same image. This case isnât covered by Geeqie.
To rename images and renaming accordingly the xmp files I wrote a little python script, and it wasnât easy to achieve the support for multiple versions!
Is there still no easy way in gTumb to put two images side by side to compare them exactly? That is and remains the only thing I miss in this great program.
For me, there is NO good software for viewing images, on Linux or elsewhere.
An opportunity to start a thread: âRequirements for developers to design an image viewerâ ?
(many developers have very limited image skills and requirementsâŚ)
The result will probably have to have a lot of optionsâŚ
Amazing statement, although there are really very good programs. gThumb is good, as is geeqie.
And then there is the all superior digiKam.
