[SOLVED] Is there any image viewer pre-installed with Slackware 14?

I know there are a lot of programs/tools that come in pre-installed with Slackware 14 and even more with Slackware 14+current.

I am currently using Slackware 14 (x64; Stable) and this version comes with pre-installed media programs such as mplayer, xine, etc.

So, I want to know if there is any simple image viewer pre-installed (?) I have been looking in the /usr/bin and everything I found is xv and gimp. xv apparently is an image manipulation tool. Gimp is just too big for simple image viewing and it is not practical to use to look around in a collection of images.

Now that I'm writing this thread, I remembered that there is a tool called ImageMagick, I don't know if it is possible to use it as image viewer (if somebody knows, tell me).

By the way, the question still remains, are there more image viewer-like programs pre-installed with Slackware 14?

gwenview and geeqie

xv is an image viewer: from a terminal just try (in a directory with the appropriate file types)

xv *.jpg *.png

just press space to go to the next image or right-click on the image and the navigation menu will open.

there are also gwenview and geeqie.

P.S. Richard has been faster!

small tip:

(cd /var/log/packages/ && grep -i viewer *|grep -i image)>images_viewers

There are some false positives but you get the idea.

or:

(cd /var/log/packages/;for i in *; do sed -n 6p $i|grep -i image|grep -i viewer;done)>images_viewers

There can be some false negatives

ImageMagick is a suite of tools for image display/manipulation. I use the "display" command quite frequently from the command-line.

grep bin /var/log/packages/imagemagick-*
usr/bin/
usr/bin/Magick++-config
usr/bin/Magick-config
usr/bin/MagickCore-config
usr/bin/MagickWand-config
usr/bin/Wand-config
usr/bin/animate
usr/bin/compare
usr/bin/composite
usr/bin/conjure
usr/bin/convert
usr/bin/display
usr/bin/identify
usr/bin/import
usr/bin/mogrify
usr/bin/montage
usr/bin/stream

A simple viewer that works for .png and .jpg files is /usr/bin/wmiv. It is in Slackware 14.2 and -current but not in Slackware 14.0. It has limitations, but is very fast to open.

open a file manager, find an image then right click on it, then look to see the options it gives you under 'open with' to open it with whatever file type that is associated with that file type.

using image magic to view an image.

Anyway, geenqie seems like the program I was looking for, thank you!

Nice! It will help me a lot to find not only image viewers but other interesting programs that I may not know, thanks!

Yeah, I knew there was someway to do it with ImageMagick! Thanks

I know you're asking for pre installed viewers but:

There is also simple x image viewer, and feh.
sxiv has some good gif functionality and I use it often.

For general album viewing I use geeqie (which does come with Slackware out of the box), it's a really good program, and the fact that it has 'remote commands' (as in, instead of spawning a new process, it controls a running one) is great, too.


Edit:
I'm suggesting sxiv and feh because they're extremely easy to compile, they don't have any fancy dependencies.

That's indeed, a program I never heard of before. I'll give it a try, thank you!

Oh, yeah! I use feh for easily setting up a wallpaper and sxiv has a pretty handy/easy way of managing keybindings. Both of them are great and easy to compile/install.

By the way, it's great to know that you said about geeqie, that was the kind of program I was looking to find pre-installed with Slackware.
