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.

Hallo paulmatth,
do you know a way to display two photos at the same time in gThumb to compare them? That would be great for me to know.
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.

Better to write specifications for THE image viewer in Linux?
Mixing features of all these unsatisfactory viewers and some new features?
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
You can also set the thumbnails to their maximum size: 256px wide, perhaps that helps. Otherwise use Geeqie or others…
I like gThumb. It’s 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).
It’s not color managed here on a wide gamut screen. Maybe I have an older version?
Dunno, maybe.
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’ve 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 that’s really a point against geeqie in my book. see also the “found the plugin system frustrating”. 
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 it’s 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, it’s too sluggish compared to geeqie!
