Hi everyone, As the original author and prior maintainer of GPicView, I'd like to ask for some comments from users and other developers. Since I no longer have the time to maintain GPicView and it still has many problems. I consider dropping GPicView in LXDE and replace it with a better one. Viewnior is a lightweight and feature-rich image viewer which I think is better than gpicview and it also meets the goals of LXDE. http://xsisqox.github.com/Viewnior/ It has very good balance between resource usage and feature set. Please give it some tests and gave me some feedback. I'd suggest replacing GPicView with Viewnior in LXDE. Any objections? |

Hi, I consider it to be a very good program for simple image display and slideshow. It's light, not tied to a desktop and I added it to the PCLinuxOS Openbox 2011 standalone versions which I produce as a contributor to the PCLinuxOS project. I have been using it for a while recently, in addition to Gqview which I consider very practical and necessary for my current use because it provides a feature to allow opening an image with the image editor of your choice, and easy image managing among other things.

Please try Viewnior before making comments. It's better than GPicView in many ways. It has all the feature GPicView has and is as fast. It's GTK+ 3 ready, too. Though I don't like to drop my own program and use others', I see no reason not to use it because it's indeed superior than mine. Even better, it's desktop independent. Please give it a try and give me some feedback. Developing another one with XFCE devs is not needed. I see no reason to do so. Viewnior is good enough for this. If it's not, I'm sure that several patches will be enough. |

It should be just fine :) Regards, Julien Lavergne |

If you are happy with it, and it comes in before feature freeze, I am personally happier to take a bit of work load from pcman on a project he is struggling to support and bring this one in.

Hello, what about contacting the XFCE people to work on one lightweight image viewer?Xubuntu discussed about Ristretto because it isn´t very good and they also looked at replacing it with Gpicview.Maybe if we combine resources we end up with something better then both Gpicview and Ristretto. -Glenn Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 21:00:15 +0800 From: pcm...@gm...

I want however to report this post: http://www.linuxgator.org/gnome/forum/viewtopic.php?p=21180#p21180 "" Dragynn, What exactly does Gpicview have that is missing in Viewnior ?" My approval. :wink: :mrgreen: The only thing Viewnior does that Gpicview doesn't, is crop. At that point, it stopped being a picture viewer and became a one-trick-pony of an image-manipulation tool, there are better programs available for that task, what I want is a picture viewer, pure and simple. Gpicview is perfect for that task, and half the size of Viewnior, '" Isn't there anyone with talent for developing, who would be interested to maintain it ?

A Debian Developer (Kanru Chen) said that viewnior uses modified gtkimageview which he wants to get rid of and depend on libgtkimageview0 package instead. Currently, I am claiming this package in Debian and struggle to put it on Debian.
