…I am using Viewnior for image viewing. But I realize some images are just corrupt (but usable) so that say thumbnails can’t be created. Plus it is nice to have a resize tool, viewnior can only flip and crop.
Anyone having recommendations for GTK based ones other than GIMP and “Gnome Photos”. Gimp Is just overkill and Gnome Photos should be burned with a flamethrower.
For this purpose I install kim4. I allows e.g. to resize images using the context menu (right mouse click) within dolphin. In addition to that it offers a bunch of more options. Rename images, send via mail including resizing, create PDF album, create animated GIF. create Mpeg video, convert images, create greyscale, create sepia, rotate, only to name a few.
$ pacman -Ss pinta

simplified alternative to GIMP for casual users
I’m using xnviewmp ( https://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewmp/ ) as viewer and quick scale/crop/convert tool. It’s somewhat like an acdsee clone from the good days of acdsee. In fact I’m installing this program on Windows machines of the family members as image viewer too, although for Windows even better (better UI) I found faststone viewer. For a while, before discovering xnviewmp I was using faststone via wine in Linux too, but I’d rather have a native tool.
I was looking for something that allows contrast and other color tweaks, like acdsee was able to do, and also for a batch converter/resizer with a gui interface (to be honest I was looking for an acdsee clone for Linux). I’ve got all of these with xmpview.
