Hi,
Does anyone know of any image viewers packaged in debian which have the
following properties:
(1) Supports PNG files (even better would be EXR files, but that's
probably pretty rare)
(2) Happily displays partially-written files, without screaming on stderr
(3) Has an "auto-update" function, where it watches the file modification
type and re-reads the file when it changes
(4) Has good-quality dithering (error diffusion or whatever) for
non-true-color displays
Of those I've tried:
"qiv": (1), (3), and (4), but not (2)
"eog": (1), (2), and (4), but not (3)
"display" (imagemagick): (1) and (3), but not (2) or (4)
"exrdisplay" (openexr): (1) and (2), but not (3) or (4)
Any other suggestions...?
eog seems generally to produce the best-quality output (and has that nifty
scroll-wheel zoom function), so if it has a hidden "watch file" option,
that's what I'd choose.... (OTOH qiv has much nicer keybindings...)
[This is so I can get some sort of progress view on a raytracer, which
only slowly produces its output image, without having to deal with
writing X color allocation code myself... sigh...]
Thanks,
-Miles
