This is Geeqie, a successor of GQview.
Geeqie has been forked from GQview project, because it was not possible to contact GQview author and the only maintainer. Geeqie projects goal is to move the development forward and also integrate the existing patches.
Geeqie is currently considered stable. Please report any crash or odd behavior to the mailing list and/or to Github
For more info see: http://www.geeqie.org/
Please send any question or suggestions to geeqie-devel@lists.sourceforge.net or open an issue on https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/issues
GTK+ 3.00
www.gtk.org
enabled by default
disable with configure option: --disable-gtk3
or
GTK+ 2.20
disabled by default when GTK+3 libraries are found.
enable with configure option: --disable-gtk3
optional items map display and GPU acceleration are not available
with GTK2
Note: GTK+3 is still somehow experimental. It is needed for some
features but we have several complains about the GTK+3 usability.
So if you need a stable version, you are advised to compile it
with GTK+2. If you want to play with the cool new features, use
GTK+3.
