Geeqie Project Status
Geeqie is currently (February 2016) on stable release 1.2.2, and actively being developed by a number of contributors, with upcoming maintenance release v1.2.3 and feature release 1.3. both expected in March 2016.
However, there is a big mess with the old project pages at SF. Even though we still use their mailing list infrastructure for now, the canonical Geeqie project information, Geeqie help and documentation, relevant links and other things of interest for Geeqie users, contributors and developers is, or will be, here.
Main features
- EXIF, IPTC and XMP metadata browsing and editing
- interoperability, easy integration with other software
- geeqie works on files and directories, there is no need to import images
- fast preview for many raw image formats
- tools for image comparison, sorting and managing photo collection
Want to contribute?
- We are looking for translators and documentation writers.
- Obviously this project page could do with some fancy webdesign, screenshots, documentation and testimonials.
If you think you can help us out here, contact us on the mailing list.
Requirements
Required libraries: Optional librariesHistory
Back in 2008, Geeqie has been forked from the GQview project, because it was not possible to contact the GQview author and only maintainer.
Geeqie has quickly integrated existing patches, and keeps moving the development forward.
We had this project on SF for a long time, then moved to Gitosis when SF decided to bundle malware with downloads.
After the closing of Gitosis we moved to this place here, to have a stable address for the project. However, there are still many links to the old locations out there.
There used to be some links to Source Forge here. Those are unmaintained, and nobody is able to access it anymore.
