Hi,
does someone know a minimalistic image viewer for Linux that supports color management? I have just tried three but none of them shows correct colors on an AdobeRGB screen.
Or if that does not exist, can someone create one please (or add color management to something like feh)? Hard to imagine that there is none though.
Regards
Anna
Geeqie, though you need to enable it.
Geeqie is not really minimalistic from my point of view.
However, probably the most minimalistic and color managed image viewer that exists?
Since we have collectively defined software ābloatā as āfeatures I donāt think I needā and āminimalā as āexactly what I think I need,ā it seems difficult to have both of those without writing the software yourself 
Irfanview does the job for me, though it also needs enabling
Isnāt it windows only?
I use Irfanview as well. Inherited this habit from my university days. I suppose you could use a compatibility layer but you might have to copy some Windows DLLsā¦
I feel your pain; most of the mainstream viewers, CM or not, take an eternity to start up, as if theyāre written in Go or Python or some other millennial interpreted language. Well now, how many people have I irritated with that sentiment??? 
Oh, +buncha for Geeqie. i use it as my DAM to rawproc.
Iāve been considering including such a viewer in the rawproc suite. C++, use the rawproc CM-managed image library for loading, only have forward-backward buttons to navigate the directory. Right now iām wrestling exiv2 and exiftool into submission for better metadata, might not get to it for a bitā¦
no buttons! That is easy with the keyboard. Only a window with the photo.
Even easierā¦
Iāve found that Geeqie is fast enough. I used minimalist sxiv but gradually increased my Geeqie usage because it turns out I rarely only view images. It turns out I tag or cull and geeqie has fast tagging with autocomplete and that ātreat raw+jpg as oneā magic feature that simplify culling.
So for all my photography needs I now use geeqie. Sxiv is there for other peoples images but I view less and less of other peoples images on my computer these days.
Iām even looking into the distinctively non-minimalist Digikam because tagging photos of my way to large extended family is so tedious. The month after holidays is always a pain 
Well I donāt know much about developing software butā¦ if you have buttons you need some toolkit for the gui like gtk or qt. Right? Without buttons less dependencies?
Even as a non programmer I take offence! Go is non interpreted language co created by Ken Thompson and Rob Pike. Thatās proper neckbeard genealogy.
These are the features that I āneedā as far as image viewers are concerned:
open common image file types, including raws (embedded preview is enough here though), navigate a directory with the arrow keys, zoom in for checking sharpness, panning at zoomed view, and directly open the photo in an image editor (from the image viewer). I do not need rotating or tagging or anything similar. Maybe viewing some exif info? Well and of course color management. And of course full screen view, but I could even live without that.
Whups, picked the wrong languageā¦ Okay, JavaScript.
Iāll not say āperlā, my personal interpreted favorite!
This is what got me considering to do such. Iāve already included a āsnapshotā key in rawproc, just takes the displayed image and copies it to a dialog box, very simple to do. Doing same to an external program is a bit more dauntingā¦
I just use XnviewMP for simple tasks (viewing, exif display, starring, batch renaming). As far as i can observe, it takes into account the image ICC and system display profile (on windows).
There is a Linux version. I donāt know how it works with an HDR display.
It is not minimalistic in your sense and it is free but not FLOSS.
As long as you arenāt hung up on which keys you hit, this sounds pretty close to being a checklist for Geeqie:
open common image file types, including raws (embedded preview is enough here though), yep
navigate a directory with the arrow keys, page up and page down keys
zoom in for checking sharpness, Z key
panning at zoomed view, OK you need to drag the image with the mouse for this
and directly open the photo in an image editor (from the image viewer). right click and pick your editor
I do not need rotating or tagging or anything similar.
Maybe viewing some exif info? yep
Well and of course color management. yep
And of course full screen view, but I could even live without that. yep
However, you said that you felt Geeqie is not minimalist enoughā¦what would you want to subtract?
Firefox? 
Ā I split my usage between it and Irfanview.
