gThumb is an image viewer and browser written for the GNOME environment. It lets you browse your hard disk, showing you thumbnails of image files. It also lets you view single files (including GIF animations), add comments to images, organize images in catalogs, print images, view slideshows, set your desktop background, and more.
To run gThumb, select gThumb from the Graphics submenu of the Main Menu, or type gthumb on the command line. If you start gThumb from the command line you can specify a starting directory :
bash$gthumb /home/user/directory/ |
or a list of files to view :
bash$gthumb *.jpg |
you can even do a combination of the two :
bash$gthumb *.jpg /path/to/dir /another/path/ |
The above example will pop up three windows, one shows you the files with a jpg extension in the current directory, and the others two will show you respectively the content of the directories /path/to/dir and /another/path.
