If anyone is doing any gfx work on linux with rare file formats this is a more than handy tool!

Its available for just about every OS which is a bonus.

I needed this program as I found that amiga iff image support was lacking in a lot of Linux apps.

I was using this for quite a while because it does support so many formats. However, it has a bug which I find very annoying and made me dump it (for now). Browsing through a very large directory of images, the "loading" box (what its purpose is, I don't know) often gets stuck on the screen and will not go away. So I eventually have several boxes stuck on my screen. Now I use gqview most of the time, except for the image formats not supported.
Another one is display (part of ImageMagick), which supports billions of image formats.

i use gqveiw and feh (gqview i don't know why i keep around, it cant open many images at all (with finding a error, like bad name, or it wont open files in a directory for the only reason i find: wrong extension (i hate it when programs use extension to identify files, its really annoying), and has limitations where i don't want them)

i use feh mainly as it supports all the image formats imlib2 supports (so all the popular ones), tho it opens files slow if i tell it to sort by size (tho i guess its not surprising if it takes a few minutes to sort thru over 18k images by size), plus it looks a bit like the windows image viewing (which i must admit was easy to use, and as long as explorer didn't crash ( ......) it was great to use

as for that image program that can view 400 formats: for 1 theres no source code, and for 2 i think that bug described above will make m hate it more (then because no source theres nothing i could do, so id probably dissemble the program, and commit all the disassembled parts to /dev/null... plus it looks wierd

Thanks for the input. I will keep that problem you had with it mikshaw in mind. Too bad it is'nt open source though and doesn't support gtk. It will do for now (Gimp, nautilus and gthumb can read 99% of the files I have anyway).

I had a look at ImageMagick and it didn't have support for Amiga iff/ilbm images. From what I saw it could read around 100 formats. Is there any way for it to support others (using another library or something)?
