Hello,

Under linux, today, some image viewer (fast and user-friendly GUI as
ACDSEE (Win95).
Because Xv is a little too ....................... not very ....handy !

Thanks.

hehe... i know what you mean.

take a look at http://www.labs.redhat.com, there's rasterman having
developed "Electric Eyes" a picture viewer which looks very promising
to me.

(however, I hadn't the time to compile/install it yet)

XV sux as a FAST viewer ;) Well I tried ACDSEE (16bit version) under Wabi
but it didn't work. I managed to get some funcionality out of Paint Shop
Pro, though :) But maybe Wine'll do the trick for ACDSEE.

Raster's stuff (Enlightenment) is a must! I tried Electric Eye too, but it
didn't compile. Haven't really tried to figure out yet where it went wrong
(no time) but Philipp is right, looks very promising and worth a look :)

But it's strange no one has developed such a thing for X. XV is not an
option when it comes to dealing (just viewing, no editing) with large
numbers of pictures in a fast way. A plugin for the Gimp perhaps? Anyone?
Maybe this is a good time to start learning C ;)

If your images all gif and jpegs (things can netscape can handle) then
an alternative way to do picture viewing using Netscape is possible.
I wrote the following small C program to generate a HTML file
which can be viewed with netscape as a clickable image browser with
thumnail images.
Suppose that your images are in a directory ~/pix. Do:
% gcc image_browser.c -o showme
% showme ~/pix/*.gif ~/pix/*.jpg > thumbs.html
% netscape -remote 'openURL('file:`pwd`/thumbs.html')'

You can easily the customize the program to your need by tweaking
the values of the constants.

/*--------------------- cut here -------------------- */
#include <stdio.h> /* image_browser.c */
const max_pix_per_line=5;
const pix_height=100;
const pix_gap=20;

main(int ac, char **av)
{
int i,cnt;
printf("<html><head></head><body>\n\n"
"<table cellspacing=%d>\n", pix_gap);
cnt=0;
for(i=1; i<ac; i++) {
if(cnt==0) printf("<tr>\n");
printf("<td> <a href=\"%s\">"
" <img border=0 height=%d src=\"%s\"> </a> </td>\n",
av[i], pix_height, av[i]);
cnt++;
if(cnt==max_pix_per_line) {
printf("</tr>\n");
cnt=0;
}
}
if(cnt!=0) printf("</tr>\n");
printf("</table>\n\n</body></html>\n");

Okay, after my previous reply I dug back into it and discovered the error
lay in the 'main.c' file. I had to change every 'gdk_save_image_to_ppm'
occurance into 'gdk_imlib_save_image_to_ppm' for it to compile correctly.
Nice program and beuatifull too, though still no ACDSEE :) Oh well, maybe
this is of some help to anyone.

try it with ImageMagik and its display command I think it`s really good
for what you seem to be lookin for.

If a commercial one would do, visit our web site:

http://www.datech.heitec.de/HXm/hxm_iv_overview.html#XmtView

This one comes as a sample viewer with our new TIFF / JPEG etc. image view
widget.
