image viewer application that shows all image in current folder

[manit123]

I have tried xfi & xzgv .
I wanted one that shows images successively on pressing next button .
I did not get anything like that.
If all image file names are passed as argument to xzgv then it does something similiar .

There are many image viewers in the repo.
You might try one of the gqviews or eog.
Gpicview also works, but all these will require the file names passed as arguments, or selected from the GUI.

A file manager with thumbnail support would be useful too.

rox perhaps

I use the gThumb. This application has almost everything you want.

gthumb seems to work quite well, but I noticed it requires a lot of dependencies and doesn't appear to function with the use of keyboard arrow keys though may use other keys for that function??  Not exactly what the OP was looking for, I'm also looking for the same thing

Initially, gthumb will not run since the extension is missing a shared library (libexiv2.so.6).  The app looks for libexiv2.so.6 in usr/lib, so a symlink from usr/local/lib/libexiv2.so to usr/lib/libexiv2.so.6  fixes that problem.

The most promising app of all is " qiv " thanks hiro, which doesn't exactly throw up a thumbnail image out of box but can be easily configured to accomplish that.  An extension could also be made which includes a desktop file that opens qiv with the desired options

Code: [Select]

qiv -w 150 .*    run from the home directory will bring up a thumbnail view 150 pixels wide, then use the Pg Up & Pg Dn keys or mouse wheel to cycle through available (thumbnail) images

in qiv pgup/pgdown goes 5 images forward and backward, you might want to press left or right mouse buttons or space and backspace for single steps. I don't think qiv is useful for thumbnails cause the whole point of these would be to see them all next to each other for easier selection, not supported by qiv.

Thank you , all .
I read all your suggestions & tried everything to conclude that
(1)qiv , flpicsee is like xzgv if single file argument is passed which is usually the case in window managers (based on freedesktop.org) .
Eg:- I have pcmanfm file manager . There is ~/.local/share/applications/userapp-xzgv.desktop which has 'exec=xzgv %f' inside it , alongwith mimeapps.list pointing to relevant .desktop file. So cannot browse through all pictures in current folder easily. Passing * as argument is not specific because I wanted picture viewer to open file i have double clicked & previous/next to see others.
(2)gqviews with middle click & left click for next/previous is alright.
(3)eog is okay too.
(4)gpicview is lightweight yet all I need . My choice .
(6)Regarding gthumb I was going to post
gthumb: error while loading shared libraries: libexiv2.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I will try that fix.
As told above I am using pcmanfm with support for multiple tabs unlike rox.

you can always run qiv from a script like this:
#!/bin/sh
b=`basename "$*"`
d=`dirname "$*"`
qiv -D "$d/$b" "$d"

In rox i have Run Action for image MIME-types set to <flpicsee "$PWD"> which lets me either cycle through all images in a dir or start slideshow.

I don't think that was the OP's question, which was

I wanted one that shows images successively on pressing next button .

where qiv -w 150 .*  works great for that
