GPic Image View,A Simple And Fast Image Viewer With Low Memory Usage

Fast-startup, low memory usage, and simple user interface make it a good choice for default viewer.







Requirements
This application requires GTK+ version 2.6.x.
Latest Version: 0.1.11

FAQ:
  • How to set gpicview to default image viewer? Use following command line:
    xdg-mime default gpicview.desktop `grep 'MimeType=' /usr/share/applications/gpicview.desktop | sed -e 's/.*=//' -e 's/;/ /g'`
    NOTE: xdg-utils is needed here. It's a tool released by Portland project of Freedesktop.org. Most modern Linux distros have this tool installed by default.
