Question Newbie - Picasa Alternative (scans hard-disk for images)..?


Is there a program that can automatically scan hard-drive for images & display them in some sort of 'manager' WITHOUT having to keep track & add folders/ image files manually?

If not, please still recommend a decent 'manager' for images... more for viewing than editing...

Thanks.

Shotwell is a good 'photo manager'.

In addition to Shotwell, there is also Digikam. Try the two out and keep the one that suits your needs best.

In addition to shotwell and digikam mentioned above, there is also F-Spot. Depending on what distribution you are using, one of these *might* be installed by default.
