Пять лучших программ для просмотра изображений в Ubuntu/Kubuntu
В данной статье описаны пять программ для просмотра изображений, доступных в настоящее время в Ubuntu. Кроме того, вкратце дана информация о программах, которые по тем или иным причинам официально не поддерживаются.
Gwenview
По моему мнению Gwenview , вероятно, лучший графический вьювер среди имеющихся в наличии на настоящий момент. Созданный для KDE4, Gwenview поддерживет практически все имеющиеся форматы изображений, имеет базовые инструменты редактирования фотографий, файловый браузер, поддерживает теги, создание миниатюр для предпросмотра, обрезку, выставление рейтингов фотографиям, слайдшоу, полноэкранный режим, плагины, а также имеет два режима просмотра (просмотр папки и просмотр изображения).
Eye of GNOME
Eye of GNOME — это программа для просмотра изображений, включенная по умолчанию в графическую среду GNOME. Она поддерживает множество форматов файлов (включая JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, SVG, TGA, TIFF или XPM), имеет простой интерфейс. Возможности программы включают режим слайдшоу, масштабирование, полноэкранный режим, миниатюры для предпросмотра, автоматическую ориентацию и поддержку плагинов.
gThumb
gThumb — это еще один вьювер на основе GTK, имеющий несколько замечательных функций, большинство из которых подключаются в виде расширений. Вышеуказанные функции включают импорт фотографий из Picasa или Flickr, экспорт в Facebook, Flickr, Photobucker, Picasa или в локальную папку, миниатюры для предпросмотра, поддержка слайдшоу, файловый браузер, закладки, фильтры.
Viewnior
Viewnior — это минималистичный вьювер, написанный на GTK+ с поддержкой базовых функций, таких как поворот и изменение размеров изображений, полноэкранный режим, сохранение изображений в форматах JPG и PNG, режим слайдшоу и обрезка фотографий.
gPicView
gPicView — это программа для просмотра изображений, включенная по умолчанию в состав графической среды LXDE, с компактным интерфейсом (панель инструментов размещена в нижней части экрана, панель меню отсутствует и все функции доступны в контекстном меню по клику правой кнопки мыши). Возможности gPicView включают полноэкранный режим, поворот/переворот изображения и сохранение в форматах JPG, TIFF, BMP, PNG и ICO.
Я также должен кратко упомянуть несколько программ, которые, как мне кажется, больше не поддерживаются (последние релизы некоторых из них вышли несколько лет назад,другие доступны только для KDE3, и т.д.). Это:
KSquirrel — это мощный вьювер для KDE3 с поддержкой миниатюр, плагинов KIPI, файловым браузером и обычными функциями, такими как поворот и масштабирование изображений.
QIV или Quick Image Viewer — программа с простым интерфейсом и минимальным набором функций, таких как масштабирование, гамма-коррекция, настройка яркости и контрастности, с поддержкой режима слайдшоу.
GImageView — хотя последний релиз датируется 2004 годом, программа использует GTK+ и вполне может использоваться. Она имеет встроенный файловый браузер, поддерживает миниатюры, вкладки, поворот/масштабирование изображений, легко настраивается.
GQview — снова вьювер на базе GTK+ с минималистичным интерфейсом, файловым браузером и стандартным набором функций.
KuickShow — этот вьювер на базе KDE3 может похвастаться встроенным файловым менеджером, базовыми функциями для редактирования изображений и хорошо настраиваемым интерфейсом.
1. Автор не совсем прав, утверждая, что перечисленные в конце статьи программы уже не поддерживаются. По крайней мере последняя версия QIV датирована 02.05.2011. Остальные четыре, действительно, уже давно не обновляются.
2. Перечень программ, предназначенных для просмотра изображений, значительно шире, нежели обозначено в этой статье. Поскольку автор рассматривал только программы для Ubuntu, за рамками статьи оказались такие широко известные просмотрщики, как digiKam, F-Spot, Shotwell и Xnview. Кроме того, совсем не упомянуты программы, запускающиеся из консоли. Более полный перечень программ для просмотра изображений вы найдете в разделе «Мультимедиа» сайта «Путеводитель по программному обеспечению для Linux». Там вы сможете дать вашу оценку самым лучшим программам этой (и других) категорий, а также добавить описание программы, которой еще нет в каталоге.

Top 11 Image Viewers for Ubuntu and other Linux
Last updated August 10, 2020 By Ankush Das 46 Comments
It is probably a good idea to stick with the default system image viewer unless you want a specific feature (that’s missing) or if you crave for better user experience.
However, if you like to experiment, you may try out different image viewers. You could end up loving the new user experience of viewing the images or get hooked on to the extra features offered.
In this article, we have mentioned every kind of image viewers ranging from the simplest to the most advanced tool available for Ubuntu or any other Linux distro.

I like pix, which is preinstalled with linux mint, it works fast and opens pretty much anything – a lot of image viewers can’t open webp files for example
all of them are the mainstream / default image viewers.
if nothing for you was here i suggest you use feh or xnview.
I have been looking for a viewer that can match my ACDC95 and cannot find. What I need is : “copy to” and “move to” options, image info bar in full screen, “fit to screen”, “rotate”, rename image” – so one would say basic options, but I found them only in XnView. XnView has everything, but there’s a mess in the preferences and it is way slower than 25 years old ACDC95. I will be looking further.
I have found an image viewer, its name is: Phototonic.
This program should be more popular as it’s worth it.
Programs like Gwenview or Geeqie, although still decent, don’t have the option to loop index after reaching first/last image. Geeqie, after renaming file, changes index position of the viewer (no options).
Irfanview with Wine is slower than Phototonic. ACDSee and Faststone (also with Wine) display large images more briskly, but the image quality is compromised (this is where the speed comes from). In addition, none of those Windows programs offer custom keyboard shortcuts.
Older versions of Xnview (81+) are not than bloated and, at least on my machine, 40% quicker than the newest version. That means that Phototonic and older Xnview are equal in terms of speed & quality. Unfortunately, Xnview’s default settings are there to show what the program can do, which means 90% of the users would need to use the ‘properties’ which are even more unfriendly. You need to learn by heart where the needed option is tucked under. If you reinstall your system frequently, Xnview will be a pain in dem Hintern.
Phototonic’s default setting are usable right off the bat. Keyboard customization is 3x easier than in Xnview. Options can be found with eyes closed in the settings. It has all I need and no much more. The program is very small and available with “sudo apt-get install phototonic”.
Thanks, Photonic is really great! Super fast, very good image quality. My new default viewer.
