Best thumbnail viewer?

[ipyakuza]

Hello to all, what is the best thumbnail / picture viewer for linux? I need one that is reliable and CLEAN. Doesn't crash. Reason why is when i have my samba mounts, if an application hangs when its being viewed over the network it causes my smbmounts to become corrupted and I have to remount them. gThumb is nice but crashes, nautilus (yeah right). Any other ideas?

You might try gqview.

Excellent! Thank you very much. I have tested the bejesus out of gqview and couldnt get it to fall over. Many thanks...

You are welcome. It is my preferred image viewer. One of the nice things that it can do, is to search a directory tree for duplicate/similar images based on various criteria. Comes in handy on occasion.

One of the ones that I tried and was happy with when I used it was Mirage.

It was small simple and fast.

I just discovered Gimv (like Gimp, but just viewer). It is much faster than any other to display a 9921x14031 8MB picture on my 2GHz P4 Intel 384MB RAM box. It is maybe also because it uses only 18MB of memory (no swapping), compared to others that reach 200 MB and several minutes to load one single picture.
