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? |

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. |

PCMan, Viewnior is just fine for me. Fast, small, all needed features+crop, ability to open image in editor. Just fine! Regards, |

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...

What exactly is the problem with ristretto? Did the Xubuntu guys in contact with it's author or raised their concerns on the Xfce mailing list? > Maybe if we combine resources we end up with something better then > both Gpicview and Ristretto. I don't think this makes sense as ristretto targets Xfce and relies on Xfce libraries such as libxfce4ui, libxfce4util or xfconf. Joining forces of gpicview and viewnior however could make sense. LXDE currently doesn't seem to have the manpower to maintain gpicview. Viewnior has a nice and clean UI but lacks some features that gpicview already has such as lossless JPEG rotation. Regards, Christoph P.S.: Why this cross-posting? I am pretty sure this has nothing to do the lxd...@li... and pcm...@li.... I have removed these lists. |

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.

I like it, very small and seems to do everying the gpicview could do. One nice feature is that scrolling now zooms in on an image rather than switching pictures. Zooming to me seems much more useful than the older functionality. One thing I did notice is that is doesn't have an option to make itself the default image viewer like the older gpicview preferences option had, would be nice if that option could be added so as to make it very simple for someone to make viewnior the default viewer. But apart from that small issue Viewnior really seems to be a nice little app. Terry Wallwork Terry Wallwork |

Other than that I am fine with this suggestion. Regards, Christoph P.S.: Let's please discuss this on the LXDE list *only*. Cross-posting to several lists makes it hard to follow the discussion. I just found this email by accident after I had already replied to another one of the same thread. |

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.
