An image viewer.

I liked it a lot!

Starting GPicView full screen on Openbox ∞

(Openbox)

Tested 2016-12-03 on Devuan 1.0.0 beta.

1) Edit your ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml

(on Lubuntu it is ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml)

2) Before </applications>, paste:

<application name="gpicview">
  <fullscreen>true</fullscreen>
</application>

3) At a terminal, run openbox --reconfigure

Earlier than 2016-03-26 - (version not recorded) ∞

I had this around for some time, but ended up going with Geeqie long before this date.

2010-01-05 - 0.2.1 ∞

smart install intltool lib64jpeg-devel lib64gtk+2.0_0-devel
./configure

2010-01-01 - 0.2.1 ∞

By far the fastest and bestest image viewer evar.

Trivial to build from source on Unity Linux:

\smart  install intltool lib64jpeg-devel lib64gtk+2.0_0-devel
./configure

Works perfectly. No particularly significant issues, but I'd strongly reconsider checking QIV and qvv out when I have some time or I'm particularly annoyed at GPicView.

Maybe I'll reproduce the earlier selective-segfault issue.

All issues remain from my first tests..

• Need to be able to cursor around when zoomed in.
• Can't start in fullscreen (F11) by default. There are no commandline options.

• I wish there was a way to suppress the popup messages on bad/zero-size images.

• For the last while, it's been segfaulting on viewing pictures. It would work just fine starting up empty, but viewing a picture kills it every time!

• Re-testing, I can see that it only segfaults on certain pictures. Very very odd.

• If you have a .bmp (meep media player) directory, it will try to cycle through and show that. It ought to ignore directories completely.
