Hi All,

Thanks for your replies!  I haven't had time to check out any of the
suggestions.  In general, as a working scientist, I'm looking for a
tool that I can use when I want to browse through a bunch of
simulation plots, by myself or with others.  I really like quicktime's
interface - you hit the right arrow and you move forward one frame.
Much easier than editing a bash script.

Another important application is of course giving presentations.  When
asked by an audience member "go to the middle of the movie.  Now go
back 2 frames.  Wait wait, could you go up 4 more?"  I can't edit a
bash script, and don't want to waste brain cycles on wading through a
dir of numbered image files.  Dragging a pointer on a progress bar and
hitting left/right arrow keys is the way to go.

It's really a matter of finding the viewer I want, which is pretty
much a glorified jpeg viewer with a nice set of controls.

I'll look at your suggestions.

Dave
