I previously asked an open question : “which is you favorite Linux picture viewer ?” and got a few answers in the comments, but unfortunately none of them made me happy. I tried quite a few on my own but without much success, till today.
Doing some more googling, I found a great picture viewer : FEH. It’s mostly command line based, it is fast and easy to use.
If you want to have the slideshow of the pictures in a directory then “feh dirName” will do it (even recursively if you add the “-r” option). You can zoom in and out with a middle-click drag left/right, you can do basic editing and delete on the fly.
Check out the feature list of FEH for more…
decent, you said …
still command line …
yeah ok, I understand you might have expected something different … still I use Linux because I like the command line. I wanted something light weight and efficient, and feh is a match for this.
Now, if you want something more GUI oriented, have a look at http://www.sakana.fr/blog/2007/05/01/linux-a-decent-picture-viewer-software/ . The readers have dropped a few good suggestions you might want to try.
