I find it at least as stable as gqview 2.1.5, but we need more alpha testers to spot bugs recently introduced, and more coders to fix them all. Note that geeqie has many speed improvements over gqview, and many new features (see http://geeqie.wiki.sourceforge.net/new_features), while retaining most of the project it is based on. > There are also issues that needs to be solved before the stable release - > most > important is probably a better keyword editor with more flexible > configuration of storing metadata into images.
