Here are the most popular ideas ever about Image Viewer (EoG). |

Can't preview .xcf files without GIMP

In nautilus I can see a thumbnail preview of .xcf files but I cannot seem to preview them in Image Viewer. Sometimes it would be good to be able to preview a .xcf file that is still being worked on without having to open it it gimp or export it to another format.

The GNOME image viewer - add 'Edit' button

The default image viewer in Ubuntu can be much more useful, if only one 'Edit' button add to it. I mean 'Edit with GIMP', but it can configurable. This also prevents users from un-associate image file types from this viewer. Thanks.

More file handling functions in Eye of GNOME

In the image viewer Eye of GNOME, the file handling options are very limited. You can only Move to trash and copy (by using "Save as..." which is a bit non-obvious).
I want to be able to have other file handling functions like rename and delete (bypassing trash) within Eye of GNOME.

Cover Flow like interface for Image Viewer

We could have the Cover Flow like interface when viewing pictures in Eye of Gnome. This is already implemented as "Shift Switcher" effect for switching among windows in compiz-fusion.
It's a popular concept used in OS-X (iTunes) and stuffs like iPod Touch.
Of course this could work for music player too, but at least we could start with EoG, and extend to Nautilus.

easier way to crop a picture (for example by using Eye of Gnome)

For now, the easier way to crop an image is to open it with Gimp. It is explicitly written on the official ubuntu documentation. For me, it is a basic need to crop a picture and I think it must be possible to do this easily. Gimp is not user friendly at all for newbie users with simple needs like that one. The philosophy of Gnome is to keep all simple as possible. This action should be simple to do too.

Have a good open source IrfanView clone for ubuntu/linux

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.

eye of gnome doesn't render svg properly

when you open an svg image in eye of gnome, and you zoom in, it gets all blurry, while this shouldnt be the case with vector graphics.
because of this, if you create a vector image with small nominal size, you won't be able to see the details using eye of gnome.

Make image viewer show pics in same order as shown in nautilus

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.
