Mirage Image Viewer opinions? other options?

[No_windows]

I've always found Imagemagick to be very difficult to use, and Ristretto works better but isn't quite there either. Recently, I've installed Mirage, and have used it some. It seems to have a dead link for it's homepage. Googling tells me that it was abandoned by the original owner, and later picked up by someone else. I'm not sure if that person is still working on it or not.

So far my only issue with Mirage is that it rotates many of my pictures, as if they were taken sideways.

Does anyone here use Mirage, and like it? What do you prefer for viewing, rotating, and cropping pictures?

There's many, many more choices than what's listed there. Along with audio players, Linux doesn't lack for these applications.

The top-rated nomacs isn't in Jessie or jessie-backports, but the 3.0.0 backport from Stretch is in the MX 15 main repo...and we could try a backport of 3.4 from Experimental for testing.

Viewnior is a small and elegant image viewer that is still in development. TBH if Mirage is supported by the package maintainer and still receives bug fixes, I do not see the issue in continuing using it.

Slightly offtopic:
Another example for software that has not been in active development for awhile would be K3B, its been on version 2.0.3 for the past 2 years and it is still supported and is one of the better CD burners out there.

i've tried them all, but in the end i always end up using the filesystem for organization and feh for viewing.

small shell script to open all images in folder:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

shopt -s nullglob

if [[ ! -f $1 ]]; then
	echo "$0: first argument is not a file" >&2
	exit 1
fi

file=$(basename -- "$1")
dir=$(dirname -- "$1")
arr=()
shift

cd -- "$dir"

for i in *; do
	[[ -f "$i" ]] || continue
	arr+=("$i")
	[[ "$i" == $file ]] && c=$((${#arr[@]} - 1))
done

exec feh --magick-timeout 1 --cycle-once -Y -F -Z "$@" -- "${arr[@]:c}" "${arr[@]:0:c}"
