I need something I can use per right click in dolphin or digikam for example, to open several images to compare them (layout table programs don't help, they are too complicated, too slow, and need too much space for their tools).
Kuickshow is (was? :-) ) old but it's simpleness is unreached. Easy to zoom (even using keys that make sense: + and -), rotate...
If somebody knows something that simple and perfect as kuickshow, I'll happily install it, but I have never found something that perfect, just doing it's job...
I see from your other post that you've now got Kuickshow working, but do you know that Gwenview added some of the functionality you're seeking? It wasn't there in earlier KDE4 releases but got added later. You can hold down Ctrl (or use the + and - selection markers, if enabled) to select multiple images which display side by side or, in the case of 4 or more, in a grid. You can then press F to undo the Zoom to Fit setting of the current image (or right-click on any of the others images and uncheck Zoom to Fit), then use Ctrl++ or Ctrl+- to zoom in and out, Ctrl+L or Ctrl+R to rotate, etc..
Granted, you have to launch Gwenview from the context menu (although it should be the default image viewer in Plasma), and it has toolbars, although you can easily go into full screen mode and achieve all the same functionality.

thank you Gumb. I use Gwenview from time to time (especially when I want to see full meta data without importing an image into digikam). It is a great tool and offers a lot... But for my specific needs kuickshow is still by far the best.... <really OT> ...because it does not use more space than the image itself and I can move & resize the windows (individual images) to order them or put them on a pile, zoom to details and back, let zoomed windows overlap to compare details... and all that very fast and simple. It's almost like working with paper :-) Freely and easily moving around, zooming and resizing individual images without altering the order or screen position of the other open images is something that applications who show several images within one window simply can't do in such a pleasant way as you can do it with individual windows. </really OT> Sometimes simpler is just better ;-) All the best, Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona http://www.daniel-bauer.com room in Barcelona: https://www.airbnb.es/rooms/2416137 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
