GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 333189
Viewer to load target directory when loading single image
Last modified: 2018-07-12 00:07:45 UTC
The reason why I always preferred gthumb to eog is that I could view a sequence of pictures (fullscreen usually), by opening an image from nautilus and then simply navigating next/previous in the viewer. It would be nice if `f-spot --view` would behave similarly. Even when opening a single image, the whole directory would be loaded and the standrad navigation shortcuts would work (and slideshow).
It seems like this would change the usage of f-spot rather dramatically. EOG -should- support this, and I would think that if you want that functionality, eog is a better program to use for simply viewing a directory of images, whereas f-spot is primarily an image -management- application for tagging, organizing, etc. a personal library of images. The function you are describing is useful for quickly viewing images e.g. off of some media that you don't want to import into your personal collection. Just my €0.02...
Ryan, F-Spot already has this viewer functionality. Try `f-spot --view /dir/`

Created attachment 155923 [details] [review] Display all the images in the same directories as files passed to --view Here's a patch that we're going to apply to the Ubuntu packages to implement this; I haven't checked if it applies cleanly to trunk. When I've got time I hope to push this, and the other changes we're making for Lucid, into a format that can be merged.
F-Spot has moved to https://github.com/f-spot/f-spot/issues If this Bugzilla ticket is still valid in a recent version of F-Spot, please feel free to post this topic as a ticket in the F-Spot project on GitHub. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping as we are planning to shut down GNOME Bugzilla in favor of GNOME Gitlab.
