Linux: Best Image Viewer for Random Slideshow of Subdirectories

, , …,

First, here's some popular image viewers on Linux.

My fav is gpicview.

Best Image Viewer for Random Slideshow

which image viewer allow random slide show of directory recursively? I have 30k images in dir and subdirs.

the best is “feh”.

install: sudo apt-get install feh.

then, to view all images randomly at ~/Pictures, do:

feh --recursive --randomize --auto-zoom --geometry 1600x1000 ~/Pictures

feh will do a slide show of all files in that dir. It'll show a graphical window.

--geometry 1600x1000 means set a fixed window size. (otherwise, window size changes with each image)

note: there's a image viewer called http://packages.debian.org/sid/pornview. The name's cool, but the app is lousy.

For Mac, you can use Graphics Converter. For Microsoft Windows, use IrfanView.

Adding Action Key to Delete/Move Files

you can add a action to the key 0, by the argument --action ‹command›. For example, to have 0 move the current image to trash, call it like this:

feh --recursive --action "gvfs-trash '%f'"  ~/Pictures/ &

You can add more key actions. Keys 1 to 9 are available, corresponding to --action1 to --action9.

For more detail, see man feh.
