Sounds promising.

I am very interested in trying Gimageview. Got a config error.
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.6... no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found

rpm -qa |grep gtk

Seems I have a higher version of GTK than required but fails on config
test. Any ideas?

amazing
by Martin Bähr - Jan 31st 2006 12:02:27
i discovered gimv only a few days ago and it has already blown me away.
at last an image viewer worthy to replace xzgv.
i have been searching for long to find an imageviewer that could rival
xzgv in memory use and simplicity. i have tried many others, but all used
more resources and did not make the cut on my small machine.
on top of that gimv also supports the .xvpics thumbnail format from xzgv
and gimp and it handles files without extensions, while at the same time
allowing a window layout close to that of xzgv.
nice features are that the thumbnail view has tabs so that you can quickly
switch between multiple folders. it fixes all issues i have with xzgv
(proper file dialogs, don't hide nonimage files (i was always irritated to
think that a directory was empty when in reality it contained other files),
slideshow mode).
and while it has a few more bugs than xzgv, they apply to features that
xzgv doesn't even have.
also tried gthumb and gqview.
gthumb uses more memory, does not seem to allow mixing directories and
images in the thumbnail view, and, i guess it's supposed to be a feature:
it only loads thumbnails for image icons that come into view. that makes
browsing an image directory very slow as you have to wait every time until
the thumbnail image is loaded. it handles exif nicer than gimv, but that's
about it.
gqview also needs more memory than gimv.
it autoloads the first image in a directory, which is not always desired
if you just want to take a quick peek because that costs time and resources
again.
it has the same file/dir split as gthumb, supports .xvpics only to read
(and appears to scale them, ugh)
the kde options gwenview and showimg need so many resources already at
startup that their features aren't even worth discussing.
i have not seen any development on gimv for the last year. i hope that
will change again, there is great potential. i submited a bunch of bugs and
feature ideas...
greetings, martin.

Great Image Viewer!
by Shlomi Fish - May 7th 2005 13:10:22
This is a great image viewer. It has many configuration options, supports
all common formats and is very flexible, and fast. I should not that I

A few changes I'd love to see...
by no_such_luck - Dec 12th 2003 17:04:19
To begin, GImageView is great :)
That being said, if the following changes could be made, then I'd really
be happy with it.
Firstly, I would like it if, when you open an image directly with gimv,
(eg. $ gimv /home/me/mypic.png) that you could also then access other
images in /home/me/ by pressing page-up and page-down; right now you can
only do this if you view /home/me/mypic.png by double clicking on it from
inside GImageView.
Secondly, I would also like it if I could set the image-window to always
start in full-screen mode. Please also consider making it so that the image
automatically gets refreshed to go to the biggest size that fits (if
that's your desired option) when you toggle to and from full-screen
mode.
Thirdly, I would like it if you could make it an option that
double-clicking on an image in "image-view-mode" toggles back to the
directory+thumbnail view.
I would also like to know if you wouldn't consider making the
splash-screen a configurable option (and not a compile-time option).
Lastly, I want to thank you for this excellent program. I use it all the
time, and I really like it :)
Thanks, Scott

Wonderful software, but...
by mafi - May 1st 2003 09:04:39
...I'm using a multi-headed system (2x CRT / Twinview). In Fullscreen mode,
the pictures are splittet over the desktops. Is there any possibility to
tell gimv to use just one of the displays in Fullscreen? (E.g. by telling
it just to use a screen range of 1280x1024 or whatever...)
thx, mafi:)

Hi mafi. Your video card is GeForce, isn't it?
Sice I also use Twinview, I will look for the method of realizing
it.However, for the moment, I cannot promise to realize it.
Please wait for a while.

Yes it's a GeForce.
Maybe I'll take your sources and have a look at it, if you don't mind. May
there is a way I can help you...

Slideshow Always starts from first picture...
by John - Nov 6th 2002 23:29:55
Not sure this is a problem or a feature.
The slide show always starts with first picture, whatever the preferred
sorting is. I think that its better to start the slideshow from the
current picture selected. It happens on RH8.0 when browsign images from a
CD.

Use the arrow keys to pan image?
by Tristesse - May 19th 2002 05:28:46
It can let users browse files in image window by using mouse or keyboard
now.
If it let us use the arrow keys to pan image, it will be perfect!
Keyboard shortcut suggestion:
[PageDown] - next image
[PageUp] - previous image
[Home] - first image
[End] - last image
arrow keys - pan image

It's a nice idea.
So, I implemented this feature in CVS version, and will be applied
in the next release.
Thanks.

wondeful!
by dac - Apr 28th 2002 17:59:27
what a wonderful piece of software. the only thing which is a bit debiting
is the only per second refresh rate while loading images, especially when
loading large directories. but one thing got notably better since the last
release i tried is, that is does not uses XFree anymore while loading
images, the system always got unusable since xfree runs mostly with in a
lower nice level. i guess this could get a full worthy replacement for
gqview, and plus, it does have the memory leak featues of gqview
(nice!).
cya,
Adrian

Does it mean displaying the remaining time until finish loading?
It is difficult to get exact remaining time.
Maybe it can only display vague value.
But, I want to implemente this feature in the future version.
Thanks.

Re: wondeful!

Nope,
I mean the slow general loading of thumbnails in a directory. Since the
GUI is only updated when i single thumbnail was created or loaded from the
chache, the GUI becomes very sluggy and unusable while loading directories
with a lot of images, or with big images. A nice feature would be, if it
not only loads the images from start to end, it should load the thumbnails
there where you look on the list, like gqview does.
Sincerely,
Adrian

Ok, I also consider the same thing since before.
On the other hand, I am also examining the technique of avoiding that GUI
become unusable while loading.
But, I am planning to fix this problem in the next major release, not
0.2.x.
Please wait the next major release.
Thanks.

Can't load next image in image window?
by Tristesse - Nov 14th 2001 09:54:06
I can't find ways to load next or previous image in image window. It
doesn't seems very convenient.

I think so too :-(
So, this feature will be implemented in next version.
Thanks!
