Why?
A big usability drawback in the current EOG is its disabilty to navigate through folders.
EOG 2.13.2 fixed this issue with introducing Back & Next navigation buttons.

How?
When i found that out, i quickly backported (not officially off course) to Dapper's EOG, which compiles perfectly on Breezy.
Here's screenshot, to demonstrate this new feature.

Where?
Get the deb here (http://www.badongo.com/file.php?file=eyhttp://www.badongo.com/file.php?file=eye+of+gnome+2.13.2__2005-11-20_eog_2.13.2.tar.bz2&s=e+of+gnome+2.13.2__2005-11-20_eog_2.13.2.tar.bz2&s=), and deb-src here (http://www.badongo.com/file.php?file=eye+of+gnome+2.13.2+sources__2005-11-20_eog_2.13.2-src.tar.bz2&s=).

Like any other deb outside the official Ubuntu repositories, this file is delivered without any guarantee, and might break your system (espcially when it is in pre-alpha version).
It works on my system, but might not work on yours.

* I uploaded this file to a free service providing free file hosting, thus i can't promise it will be availabe forever. If anyone is willing to host it on his own server, feel free to do so.

Thanks for that.
I was waiting for this option in eog.
Gthumb is a great soft but it fells a little bit to heavy for me in a other hand eog was missing this feature.
Now I can do the switch, thanks again.

I don't need to use gThumb now :), like said domo gThumb is great app, but little bit heavy.

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes :) Thank you very much for that hint. Now eog is A picture viewer ;)

Can this be set as the default to open images?
I went into the properties and tried to add eog as a custom command but it just disappears.

Eye of gnome is the default picture application. Did this install upgrade the old one?

Eye of GNOME is currently being considered as an official backport, as it's in Dapper.

Just thought that I'd add that this is now in Backports

I have installed the backports version (2.13.2) and unfortunately on my setup it segfaults rather badly so your mileage may vary on this one.

Hope it's not offtopic but is there a way to make EOG change the orientation of a picture permanently?

For example, I take a lot of portrait pictures that come out landscape on my camera. When I rotate a picture appropriately in EOG, it doesn't save the changes (unlike in Windows's default picture viewer where it does)

Is there anyway to change this?
