Hi Lucas

That folder had 17 CR2 files, plus the 17 "embedded" JPG files resulting from the folder having been imported into Shotwell.

So I created a test folder with just 2 CR2 files and --- Bingo!!! --- I now have navigation arrows. I'm sure you had a reason for suggesting this test :-)

Cheers
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

How many CR2 images are in the directory in question? If it's "many"
(e.g., say 50 or more) could you create a directory with only two CR2
files in it, then open one of those two images, then check whether the
navigation arrows are enabled?

Hi Lucas

I should have said in my original post that I am keen to use the Shotwell
Viewer as the default :-)

I've just confirmed my previous statement about the navigation arrows

in Nautilus, right click on one CR2 in a folder&  select Open With>
Shotwell Photo Viewer
the forward and back arrows are dimmed out
Canon EOS 550D
Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit
Shotwell (incl Viewer) 0.12.2

This therefore leaves Shotwell Photo Viewer as the only alternative to
full-blown Shotwell, for viewing photos from Nautilus.

If you want a lightweight alternative without editing capabilities
similar to EoG, there's also gThumb.


2. No instance has the forward and back navigation arrows enabled

What happens if you select only one photo, right click, then choose
"Open With">  "Shotwell Photo Viewer"? I just tried this on a
directory containing three CR2 images shot with a Canon EOS 7D DSLR on
Ubuntu 12.04 x64 running Shotwell 0.12.2 and have no problems
navigating over all photos in the directory using the forward and back
arrows. What's your camera and system configuration?
