Gwenview
 Gwenview is a fast
and easy to use image viewer for KDE,
featuring a folder tree window, a file list windows, with a thumbnail
view.
Standard features include slideshow, full screen view, image
thumbnails, drag'n'drop, image zoom, and full network transparency
using the KIO framework. It also provides image and directory KParts
components for use in applications such as Konqueror.
Additional features are provided by the KIPI image framework.
While it was available in KDE3,
the KDE4
version has a simplified user interface, making it more suitable for
quickly browsing through collection of images. Gwenviev is also useful
for displaying images, and provides a fullscreen
interface that can be used to display images as a slideshow.
Gwenview can load and save all image formats supported by
KDE, but Gwenview can
also browse GIMP
files (*.xcf) thanks to the included QXCFI component
developed
by Lignum Computing.
Features include:
- Directory browser
- Image viewer
- Plays video
- Metadata comment editor
- Thumbnail image view of current directory
- Use of KIPI (KDE
Image Plugins Interface) plugins for manipulating images
- Loads and saves all image formats supported by KDE
- Browse GIMP
files
- Displays images with alpha channel
- Accurately controls the way images are scanned
- Rotates JPEG images with EXIF information in accordance
with EXIF Orientation tag
- Like Konqueror,
it shows image properties and image specific meta-information
- Performs lossless manipulations (such as rotations and
mirroring) with JPEG files
