    I'm just wondering if anyone can suggest a good alternative to xubuntu's "gthumb" image viewer? I don't care for it, and I really miss the one from Ubuntu lucid.
    Any suggestions?

    What are your requirements? Try eog (eye of gnome), shotwell, gwenview, digikam

    For more options, try something like this:
    Code: 
    apt-cache search "(photo|image) (viewer|browser|organizer|manage)" | sort | more

    My requirements are just basic image viewing. I'll check out your suggestions, thanks. :)

    Edit: eog is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

    gpicview is also a nice lightweight image viewer.

    Thanks, but you're a little late. ;) I'm very happy with 'eye of gnome'. :)

    I just tried out Pinta on 12.04.1 did exactly what I needed, I found gimp overkill for me. I only wanted to reduce the size of a picture (down to about 20%) but could not figure out how to do this in shotwell.
