Correct answer. I've been using it since the late '80s, and it's still
the best option for the vast majority of use cases. For the few
exceptions, I tend to use geeqie (which is in the default
repositories).

I would go with geeqie as well but it doesn't support animated gifs from 
my usage.


Note, for some purposes, you HAVE to change the preferences to meet your 
needs.


Will have to try xv again.

Probably back several releases, gthumb offered a feature useful for
this, but I cannot recall what software I used to do it any more.  You
can add EXIF data to pictures that don't have it, letting you write in
the photos real data, rather than a file-creation date, and sort on that
data.

Upon reflection, it may not of have been gthumb, it seems to like
putting metadata in an XML file, rather than in the image.  Making it
hard to use the images outside of the gthumb program.

While there's value in having external metadata, it's not convenient for
sending files here and there.  You have to hunt down the extra file to
include it, the recipient has to keep both files, and has to have
software that reads the XML file.

Also, think about LightZone.  They require registration, even though it's open

of editing.  It's also in Java, so you don't pull in a lot of Gnome and KDE

Do you mean Gwenview rather than Genview?  I've been following this thread a little, and there's no 
"genview" or "Genview" available when I poke around using dnf, at least with my 
repositories.  Doing a quick search on the intertubes reveals a couple of "Genview" programs, 
neither of which seem to apply here.

If you mean Gwenview, I'm getting the impression the OP wants more integrated 
editing capabilities, i.e. he wants the lightable capabilities of Digikam 
combined with the editing of ShowFoto, but in a lightweight program that 
doesn't drag in all the dependencies of Gnome of KDE.

Gwenview doesn't really have the immediate editing things, and I get the 
impression he wants a more traditional directory-tree-in-a-sidebar kind of 
interface.

But I could be wrong...

What about RawTherapee?  I know it's supposed to be mostly for RAW images, but 
it can read common formats, and I think it does all the stuff the OP asks for.

Really, the ultimate arbitrator to determine if something is worth installing 
or fits your
needs is "you".

The idea of asking the "world" what is the "best" anything is a fool's errand 
when the
"world's" concept of best, or even decent, is purely subjective and not 
universally shared.

The packages installed by default was done by a group of people who may or may 
not have
taken your views into consideration. 

If anything, just ask what "viewers" (I put viewers in quotes since you also 
seem to want
a certain degree of editing) others use and then install them and test them to 
see if they
meet "your" requirements.  You can always uninstall things that don't live up 
to your
expectations.

Personally I just use the file manager for 1 and 2 set to thumbnail and
zoomed to see the image thumbnails on my xfce system.  GIMP comes into play
to manipulate the image and make adjustments, a right-click operation.  And
the default image viewer for a quick full screen look or slide show
operation handled 3 and 4.  I don't do heavy image work like I used too, so
this works for me.  When I did do work on my photography Shotwell worked
for the things you asked; though I didn't use the image adjustments in the
software, again GIMP worked well especially when I added the RAW support
for my Nikon.  My 2 bits.

I guess it depends on what exactly you mean by "adequate" but I use 
gpicview. My guess is that it is perhaps even less than adequate for 
you, but it gets the jobs done for me.


Valid point.  I 'grew up' with gthumb with all those years of using
gnome until I bailed with F21 for Xfce.  The switch to Xfce was driven
by my work with the Fedroa-arm builds and on armv7 chips, you really
don't want to run gnome.  Those early arm builds all had Xfce and I
liked it.  So for a while I still used gthumb, but came to dislike it
with F22.

So what do I want a picture viewer to provide:

A directory tree view so I can go through all of my picture directories
easily.
A thumbprint view so I can scan down easily for the pictures I want to
see/show.
A full screen pic viewer that offers editing and printing.
Slideshow function and support animated gifs (I encountered one viewer
somewhere that did not)

Not a big list.  gthumb on F21 was just right, but with F22 became too
feature rich (but was really good for printing).



Good timing for this topic! - I have been looking for what you want too 
- I would also like to be able to control the size of the thumbnails - 
sometimes they are just too small - I asked on the Thunar list if it was 
possible to specify the thumbnail size somewhere but didn't get an 
answer . .

For a couple like that I have gone through the work with renaming the

appropriately.  A 'playlist' feature would be nicer.

What picture viewer do you use on F24?


Hi
I use the last Digikam-5  and Gliv.
The best: Digikam-5 (important: now, has few kde dependencies)
Gliv is opengl based. I like its zooming facilities.

Irfanview under WINE.

http://www.boekhoff.info/?pid=linux&tip=install-irfan-view-on-linux

I do not consider any "picture viewer" without print or crop functions
to be serious.
Most of the FOSS/Linux ones I've seen shipped by Linux distros are a
f*cking joke.

I guess it depends on what exactly you mean by "adequate" but I use gpicview. 
My guess is that it is perhaps even less than adequate for you, but it gets the 
jobs done for me.
