my family album is on Picassa and also on Flickr, they are great for backing up your digital photos `

Since I wasn’t happy with any of the image viewers out there, I wrote my own, result is called Galapix and available at:

http://code.google.com/p/galapix/

Unlike traditional image viewers Galapix isn’t focused on viewing single images, but on viewing very large collections of images at once, with smooth zooming from thumbnail down to original size.

Any suggestions for a picture viewer with MacOSX-like behavior? I.e., switch quickly between thumbnail view and slideshow? If it could also let you interrupt the slideshow to show a raster of all pictures, then switch back, I wouldn’t be using osx right now

xnview is the best one!
it is the most light one – uses up to 10mb of mem
and it is fast

What I liked (and used) most in xv is the “crop” facility. Couldn’t find it anywhere in the above tools, so now I still have to use gimp for that. With xv it took me 10s to extract some sub-image, takes me up to 3mn with gimp

gthumb does the trick for me right now (just installed it) – all images show as thumbnails and can be clicked on to blow up to larger size.
