If xv is still available for SuSE > 12.3, give that a try. (Sorry, haven't looked for it in 13.1 repos.) It can do what you want and, though it can, it won't try to save any mods. IIRC, you have to do explicit saves. Yes, it's like 20 years old but it still works good and is the only viewer that does what it does. You'd have to get several different viewers/editors to be able to do all the things xv does. I'm glad it's still available and no one has (yet) "improved" it or reinvented it into something less useful. jd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Until now I used kuickshow image viewer in openSUSE. The reason I liked it so much that almost everything related to viewing images could be done using the keyboard. In openSUSE 13.1 with KDE4 now I have gwenview. Only a few things can be done with it using the keyboard. I do not need an image organizer, I need a viewer for looking images in a selected directory. In kuickshow using keyboard commands I could:

-switch on/off full screen -zoom to fit screen, switch to original size, zoom in/out -rotate images to right, left, flip, mirror image -move to next, previous, first, last image -increase/decrease brightness and contrast

All the above without modifying the image. In gwenview if I rotate ans image the program wants to save it modified, which I don't want. I don't want a viewer to be able to modify an image, except if I directly specify to

-delete, copy, save image, which could be done too in kuickshow using the keyboard.

I just found that in gwenview I can not decrease (zoom out) the images size for view, ie zoom out does nothing.

Any suggestion?

shotwell - also wants to write image after rotation, but you can say no easily. The rotation is just a "flag", the file is not altered save that flag. gnome view image (aka eye of gnome) - same thing. gthumb - when told to rotate, wants to do a physical rotate. Ristretto - rotate is temporary, not saved. Showphoto (digikam) - wants to save f-spot - crashes.

An oldie but a goodie - imagemagick is fully cli based and can do pretty much everything you want to do. Actually, it is a collection of cli utilities rather than just one monolithic app. Being CLI based means it can easily be scripted for batch operations too. You may find it is already installed; use "display <imagename> to view images, convert <options> to convert images between formats etc. It can do everything you want to do (and probably more). -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
