Image viewer for multiple images

Question

Is there any image viewer (like eog) for linux which can do the following:

Show 2 (3 or 4) images of a directory with maximal possible sizes on one page at the same time. When I click "next", it should show me the next 2 (3 or 4) images of that directory and so on.

Solution 1

Comic viewers (such as Comical, Comix, QComicBook, or cbrpager) usually have a double-page mode.

In addition, Geeqie has two-image modes and a quadruple-image mode. However, the sub-windows seem to be independent of each other (when you change one, the others don't change).

Solution 2

Nomacs

I was looking for something to replace Google Photos locally to help organize my photos.

I need to quickly browse image thumbnails and do basic edit operations like renaming, rotation and cropping, and Nomacs fit perfectly!

When you open a directory with:

sudo apt install nomacs
nomacs .

you get thumbnails like this:

Double click on an image and it becomes big:

Then from there you can:

• Shift-T: back to thumbnails
• Left Right arrow keys: move to previous / next photo
• C: crop with mouse. Once done:
  • Enter: apply the crop
  • Esc: abort the crop
  • Ctrl + Shift + S: save cropped image as a new file
  • Ctrl + S: overwrite original file
  • Ctrl + Z: undo edit
• R: rotate
• F2: rename

Here's what crop mode looks like for example:

Some shortcomings:

• doesn't support videos: https://github.com/nomacs/nomacs/issues/191
• can't scan directories recursively: https://github.com/nomacs/nomacs/issues/297

Tested in Ubuntu 19.04, nomacs 3.12.

Thanks. Could you describe how to do in gwenview what I want?

[Nikhil Mulley]

gwenview.sourceforge.net/screenshots.php?action=view&album=/‌​… Just use zoomin and zoomout at the right below of the window

[student]

That zooms maximal to 256x256 for me, that's to small.

[Nikhil Mulley]

may be picasa then? I have not tried gwenview more extensively as such before either.

[student]

Same problem with picasa

Why is the .deb ~ 60 MB and contains a whole lot of binaries?

[Oskar Skog]

And it only contains stuff in /etc and a broken .deb in the root directory.

[nachifur]

In order to put the program files in a folder, so there is only /etc. This may not be the standard packaging process. If you have better suggestions, please let me know, thank you for your guidance. I can run the program through ”/etc/Mulimg_viewer/main“ on ubuntu18.04, have you reported an error? Please report this issue on github, thank you for your feedback.(github.com/nachifur/Mulimg_viewer/issues)

[nachifur]

I am not proficient in packaging technology, the software has no uninstall function, you can delete /etc/Mulimg_viewer directly.

[nachifur]

You can also choose to use the python source code to run the program(python main.py) github.com/nachifur/Mulimg_viewer/wiki.

[Oskar Skog]

If you are not proficient at packacking, then why would you provide a package? And also why would you use Pyinstaller for open source sofrware for a platform where Python is pre installed. // The source code itself looks fine, just distribute that for *nix.

[nachifur]

The software is open source and free. If you don't contribute for it to improve the packaging process, I can only provide deb files in my way. First, I did not force you to use deb files. Second, others may want to use deb files. If you have any running errors, look forward to your feedback on github, thank you for your guidance.

[nachifur]

If you are interested in improving this software, you can develop it with me, thank you for your attention.
