Quote some opinions about Gimageview :
gimageview is a really nice image viewer that handles just about anything thrown at it. Including video. It can also do slideshows with images and video mixed which is why I like to use it at trade shows and family reunions and stuff. To my knowledge this possibly is the *only* linux app that does this. I've looked a lot and haven't found any others. Anyone who has used irfanview in windows and wished for it in linux can probably appreciate gimageview as a replacement for it.
Anyways this Image viewer is for Gtk but works fine on puppy 3.0.1
It Can even watch movies with xine-libs which just about everyone has, Plus take images from the movies, Kind of neat, In the menu it does say redhat etc, lol
But hey its small and works fine for viewing images, thumbnails

it works fine, only bad thing is sometimes is a bit slow

Thanks for this recommendation. I've added to the wiki http://puppylinux.org/wikka/GImageView

I too was a fan of Irfanview.

I've found a package from the puppy4 repo that runs on Slacko 5.3.1
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-4/gimageview-0.2.27-1.pet

It seems to crash sometimes in when flicking through images.

How did you install and which version is it?

It looks like development has finished on it?

BTW there is a program that allows you to script a slideshow-

What is the "2009" version? Is it from https://github.com/ashie/gimageview/?

I'd like to compile the version from github, but the zip download has a configure.ac file instead of configure. Also it has no make.in files.

Don't how I can I compile this version?

top level ls from github (gimageview-master):

Run `./autogen.sh` in that top level directory.
Just running `autoreconf` might also work Wink

There is a version in the Debian Lenny repos here which seems quite stable and seems to be the last Debian version.

PornView explorateur de vidéos et photos. D'une simplicité époustouflante ?
Sauf qu'il faut libxine sur les distros up to date (se trouve dans pup 214x), je l'ai : 349kb mais ne peux la joindre.

biggest conversion now is probably GtkCTree -> GtkTreeView
