Photo viewer?

[yuripv]

I'm just impressed that we have software that is 30 years old and still works . Take that <insert big, ugly commercial OS name here>!

You mean one of those big ugly commercial Linux vendors?

Lol, no, I was pointing to one of those "other" big, ugly commercial OS vendors. There is only 2 so...

I use Viewnior. It is simple, fast and elegant image viewer. Its minimalistic interface provides more screenspace for your images. I also use Xfi. It is a part of Xfe file manager.

 

[Sevendogsbsd]

I've never tried Xfi, will have to give it a shot.

I would also like to suggest a lightweight cli program called sxiv. It is a light image viewer which as a few features :

- Basic image operations, e.g. zooming, panning, rotating
- Customizable key and mouse button mappings (in config.h)
- Thumbnail mode: grid of selectable previews of all images
- Ability to cache thumbnails for fast re-loading
- Basic support for multi-frame images
- Load all frames from GIF files and play GIF animations
- Display image information in status bar

This amazing program can be installed in a package or port system.

It is also possible to view photos via terminal, BTW,
with www/w3m-img (may not work with some terminal emulators),
it's a pager/text web browser, but it's also pretty usable image viewer, just disable
"Use external image viewer" option in w3m options - launch w3m and press "o",
to show image info, press "=".

I am graphics/geeqie user.

root@FreeBSD:~# geeqie
ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libavfilter.so.7: version LIBAVFILTER_7 required by /usr/local/lib/libffmpegthumbnailer.so.4 not defined
root@FreeBSD:~#

root@FreeBSD:~# uname -a
FreeBSD FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE r341666 GENERIC amd64
root@FreeBSD:~#

Cant figure out how to get around this...

Any ideas?

Are the packages at latest version of the package repository you are tracking? Your system is is not. FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE is at p10.

 

[balanga]

Many thanks. pkg update sorted it out.

On another system I updated the base - now have:-

root@tester:~ # uname -a
FreeBSD tester 12.0-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p10 GENERIC amd64

I have also run pkg update -y

but still get:-

root@tester:~ # geeqie
ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libavfilter.so.7: version LIBAVFILTER_7 required by /usr/local/lib/libffmpegthumbnailer.so.4 not defined

Any ideas?

feh on sway works very well today. Super fast and does not fall. Everything you need to view pictures.

Another vote for xv. I've used it since it first came out, always preferred the user interface to anything else, and I still use it today. Gwenview isn't too bad but it pulls in loads of libraries. The author John Bradley wrote his own widget library for xv on top of raw Xt and xlib. It became a de-facto standard back when it was first released and was widely used. It even gets its own wikipedia page:-

xv (software) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

And was described in this NASA technical report

https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19950010051/downloads/19950010051.pdf

Plus its the only GUI I've ever seen where error dialogs get an ok button with 'Bummer!' written on it.

And it has that famous invention, the "visual schnauzer", otherwise known as an image browser
Just don't try using xv to browse a directory of 10000 photos...
