simple image viewer? (Bevan C. Bennett)

[David Fletcher]

I was using gwenview with RH9 yesterday. Works fine, lets you browse a folder 
of images and puts up thumbprints like Paint Shop Pro does, only I don't 
think it saves thumbprints to a file like PSP so it can take a while with 
large files. You can then right click on an image and get it to open with the 
Gimp.

Anybody on the list tried it with Fedora yet?

eog is probably the simplest for just pulling up an image.
display is a little fancier (from 'ImageMagick').
gthumb is a nice little app for managing sets of photos.
gimp is like photoshop... big, complicated and powerful.
You can also use most web browsers (like mozilla) to display common 
image types.

If you're looking for something with xv's ability to set a simple 
background image, check out xsetroot, xloadimage and xsetbg.
