Have a good open source IrfanView clone for ubuntu/linux  
Written by lorenzosu the 9 Apr 09 at 20:30. New
[SOLVED] IrfanView - http://www.irfanview.com/ - is the best graphics "swiss army knife" for pictures/photos allowing for e.g. to quickly open an image(s) and crop and resize save to another format, rotate and navigate through a dir, clipboard support ecc. in very straightforward manner.
But - it's Windows-only and closed source.
The only similar app for Ubuntu is XnView - http://www.xnview.com - which is closed source and has a "oldish" X interface, thus not integrated well in Ubuntu.

Written by lorenzosu the 9 Apr 09 at 20:30.
Turns out gThunb http://live.gnome.org/gthumb actually has all those most functionalities and is well integrated in GNOME.

Make image viewer show pics in same order as shown in nautilus  
Written by qb89dragon the 12 Apr 09 at 19:52. New
I like to view my photos with nothing fancier than image viewer (eog), and sort through them with nautilus. Unfortunately when I sort by date, then want to flick through them in image viewer, the order is different than displayed in the folder window (sorted by name).

Developer comments
This idea is not as simple as you might think. When you tell nautilus to open a file with an application, it uses the application's .desktop file (look in /usr/share/applications) to know how to run the application. When the program is launched, it is able to be passed certain arguments. This is how it knows which file(s) to open. However, if you look at http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html, you will see that there is currently no way to pass the application the sorting style used in the file manager. This is because .desktop files are used on many different types of systems and in many places. For example, .desktop files are also used in the Applications menu, where there is no real sorting.

Unless we were to hard code some settings into nautilus to have it pass certain arguments to eog (which most likely will not happen), I do not think that this idea will be implemented.

Solution #1: Pass sorting method in commandline when launching eog from nautilus
Written by qb89dragon the 12 Apr 09 at 19:52.
An easy way to solve this would be for nautilus to pass the sorting method to eog through the command line.
For example instead of passing eog '/home/user/pictures/image.png' it might go eog --sort=date '/home/user/pictures/image.png'.

This would require relatively simple modifications to both nautilus and eog. The only complexity is the version compatibility and the support for multiple image viewers through nautilus meaning that a custom exception like this one is a little ugly in code.

Solution #2: If #1 Doesn't work, read this
Written by qb89dragon the 13 Apr 09 at 03:35.
Why not get EOG to look up the saved sorting style for that folder. Remember that nautilus remembers how it was sorted when you reopen the folder. Make eog detect the sort method from that, it's probably some xml file in the user's home directory somewhere.

Ask to save changes in eye of gnome  
Written by pepperpupper the 19 Sep 08 at 22:45. New
It is possible to rotate images in eye of gnome, which is useful. However, the application does not ask whether to save changes so if you edit a photo for instance, you have to manually press "save" each time you exit. I would like it to ask so I wouldn't have to go to the menu each time.
