While I also much prefer Geeqie to stay just a viewer, plus maybe a kind of "shell" for editors [1], I disagree that Linux lacks lightweight viewers. feh is currently my other favorite. [1] On this topic, would it be interesting to create pipelines for editors, rather than just invoking them 1 by 1? For example, we could make it possible to create a pipeline where an intricate batch imagemagick command is called on the current image, the output is saved to a temporary file, and then gimp is immediately called on the temporary to allow for manual postprocessing. Can we imagine a GUI for defining such pipelines? -- Please *no* private Cc: on mailing lists and newsgroups Personal signed mail: please _encrypt_ and sign Don't clear-text sign: http://cr.yp.to/smtp/8bitmime.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Geeqie-devel mailing list Geeqie-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geeqie-devel
