About:
Quick Image Viewer (qiv) is a very small and fast GDK/Imlib image viewer designed to replace the classic image viewers like xv or xloadimage. It features setting an image as an X11 background with a user-definable background color, fullscreen viewing, a screensaver mode, brightness/contrast/gamma correction, real transparency, zoom, slideshow, support for external programs, and more. It runs on Linux (libc5/glibc), Solaris (SunOS), FreeBSD, and HP-UX.

[»] good for working with photographs
by James Corey - Dec 30th 2001 22:28:55

It's for the keyboard/command-line oriented user.

Efficient for viewing photos downloaded from
camera and filtering the good from the bad.

qiv -tf *.jpg

will let you see all of large images, and give
you a tiny annotation in the corner with image
name and size. The d key trashes the image and
there are user definable keys. Much more
convenient for me than ee or xv, for instance.
