This is Pix, an image viewer and browser utility.

What is Pix
==============

 * Pix is an image browser

   + Browse your hard disk showing you thumbnails of image files.
   + Thumbnails are saved in the same database used by Nautilus so you
     don't waste disk space.
   + Automatically update the content of a folder.
   + Copy, move, delete images and folders.
   + Bookmarks of folders and catalogs.

 * Pix is an image viewer

   + View single images (including GIF animations).  Supported image
     types are: BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, TGA, ICO, XPM.
   + Optional support for RAW and HDR (high dynamic range) images.
   + View EXIF data attached to JPEG images.
   + View in fullscreen mode.
   + View images rotated, flipped, mirrored.

 * Pix is an image organizer

   + Add comments to images.
   + Organize images in catalogs, catalogs in libraries.
   + Print images and comments.
   + Search for images on you hard disk and save the result as a catalog.
     Search criteria remain attached to the catalog so you can update it
     when you want.

 * Pix is an image editor

   + Change image hue, saturation, lightness, contrast and adjust colors.
   + Scale and rotate images.
   + Save images in the following formats: JPEG, PNG, TIFF, TGA.
   + Crop images.
   + Red-eye removal tool.

 * Pix is an advanced tool

   + Import images from a digital camera.
   + Slide Shows.
   + Set an image as Desktop background.
   + Create index image.
   + Rename images in series.
   + Convert image format.
   + Change images date and time.
   + JPEG lossless transformations.
   + Find duplicated images.

Pix is used in the Cinnamon desktop environment. This is useful for the reasons
above. This package is a fork of gthumb and has been used in Cinnamon DE as an
X-App for image viewing.

I plan to maintain this, just happens to be myself until I can hopefully get it
migrated into the cinnamon-team.
