Surprised noone has mentioned sxiv, it is brilliant in (I guess) the same way people like xterm.
Really minimalistic but at the same time quite powerful under the hood. All normal operations have quick vim-inspired shortcuts (and scroll to zoom) and if you want to get advanced you can trigger scripts to do some heavy-lifting.
Not for everyone but when it fits it is brilliant.
If sxiv isn't your thing and you want something minimalistic, maybe have a look at feh (don't know if it has scroll to zoom).
- amelius 4y agoOk, I tried sxiv. It works locally, but when I invoke it over a remote X11 connection, I get a blank screen. I also tried feh. It simply hangs when I invoke it with a png file over a remote X11 connection. If you are starting to wonder whether there is something wrong with my setup: I can run other applications like xterm, xeyes, gimp, just fine over a remote X11 connection.
- tjoff 4y agoWeird, sxiv works fine over remote X11 for me.
- teddyh 4y agoDo you have an indexed color display instead of a truecolor display or something? In that case it would make sense that modern programs have problems with it while older programs work. What does “xdpyinfo” say?
- amelius 4y agoOk, I checked. All the visuals have either TrueColor or DirectColor.
