Fast image viewer for Linux

Meet feh – a fast and minimalist image viewer, suitable for quickly scrolling though your collection of resized photos without annoying jerks and delays.

It can be installed from your package repository.

One way to use it is to open the terminal window in the folder where your images are stored and run command:

• feh -ZF

Here “Z” stands for zoom, and “F” stands for full screen. So it goes full screen and any images smaller than the screen size will be zoomed up. You can also add “r” parameter to recursively scan all subdirectories.

You can also set delay between slides. Read more about it all:

• man feh

Photoshop PSD thumbnailer for Gnome file manager

This script generates a system script and associated meta-information for displaying Adobe Photoshop .PSD image thumbnails in Gnome file manager. It is intended to work with Nautilus, but also works with Nemo in Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya Cinnamon, even though “Add GConf Hooks” section of the script fails.

Run the script with sudo and reboot afterwards.

The script was acquired from askubuntu.com here, and it is actually preferable that you get it from there, because here it may be automatically reformatted and fail at execution. It is posted here only for archival purposes.
