Re: replacement for xv?



hi bruno,

try the xloadimage package.  it comes with a program called xview
which works quite nice for most image formats (it doesn't like
some tiff formats i've found but for the most part works well).
it also contains a program xsetbg which you can use to set the
background image on your desktop.  It's also one of the more lightweight
viewers.  also, i hear feh is pretty good too, but i've never used it.
