Hello, Flash, a_salty_dogg, and all.
Indeed, Irfanview has no Linux version. But we do have alternatives
that compare:
qiv is not an image editor, only a viewer -- even a CLI viewer*. But it hasgeeqie
GQView (IMO better than the more recent qeeqie above, because it is
easier to understand and configure)
XnViewMP (excellent but BIG multiplatform package)
Look those up in the Internet?
All three progs above allow some basic editing, either within itself
(XnViewMP), or by relaying the picture to an image editor.
a command interface that extends it a lot. Type 0 (zero) in qiv while
viewing a picture and your chosen image editor (the one you defined in
defaultimageeditor or in defaultpaint) should load the picture ready for
edit. If not, change line 39 in script /usr/bin/qiv-command to
Code: Select all
0)mtpaint "$2" 2>/dev/null
Pup's PPM.
Finally, prepare to be surprised! Good old mtpaint has a viewer mode!**
Please see attached screen capture.
Code: Select all
mtpaint -v picture.extension
manually, though), with mtpaint, by typing
Code: Select all
cd your-picture-directory
mtpaint -v *.jpg
If you are all thumbs when it comes to typing in console, it should be
simple enough to create a couple of basic scripts to start mtpaint in
viewer mode and then place (or link) these scripts in
/root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith/.image_jpeg
/root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith/.image_png
and similar picture directories.
Of note, if I type "image viewer" in my PPM's search box (from
xenialPup-7.0.6), I see a list of over 20 titles, including "nomacs" and
"phototonic". YMMV according to the PPM of your Puppy version, of
course, but if you are not happy with the progs I briefly described above,
it's worth a look.
IHTH.

NOTES
* Of late, qiv seems to have acquired some interfaces. I believe "pqiv" in
the PPM listing is one of those. (Untried; could be just a rumor.)

** I have just discovered that the viewer mode is not available with all
versions of mtpaint in all environments. For example the viewer mode of
mtpaint v. 3.44.88 in Puduan-6 with the wmx WM works fine; but not in
xenialPup-706 under the echinus WM.
I have to investigate why: missing lib(s), wrong parameter syntax,
simplified compilation? If anyone has a lead, TIA.
Note, two days after:
I have found the solution to the viewer bug in newer versions of mtpaint.
I explained it here.
