Gimmage is a command line image viewer that is ideal for directory and file input, with the ability to accept image filenames as arguments.
Gimmage is a powerful image viewer that is specifically designed for command line usage. This software accepts directories and image filenames as arguments, making it incredibly easy to use. In addition to its core functionality, Gimmage also includes an in-application file browser, which enables users to select and drag images and directories into the image viewing area.
To run Gimmage, you will need the gtkmm library and the gnomevfs package. It is worth noting that there are a few known issues with this software. For example, drag scrolling using the mouse can be a bit quirky, and scrolling with the arrow keys does not always work as intended. However, these issues can be overcome by using the number keypad instead.
Another issue to bear in mind is that Gimmage may not be able to open files with non-European characters in their filename. Nevertheless, this software is incredibly versatile and boasts a wide range of features.
To install Gimmage, you can use the sh make.sh command in the extraction directory. This will compile and install the software in /usr/bin and /usr/share/gimmage. Alternatively, you can use sh make.sh -DLOCAL to create a version that is runnable from the extraction directory. You can also use sh make.sh -DDEBUG to create a debugging version, which allows you to add any CFLAGS that you need.
If you encounter any issues during installation, please note that you may need to manually copy the Gimmage file to /usr/bin and change its permissions. Additionally, you will need to copy the icons directory to /usr/share/gimmage.
Finally, it is worth highlighting the key new features in the latest release of Gimmage. This includes important usability improvements, such as an image preview and support for scrolling with the arrow keys. These improvements are part of the final release in the current stable branch before the 0.3.0 release, which is set to include printing support and a fixed filechooser widget.
