The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
== Feh and Qiv ==The feh image viewer.  Command line image viewer with no GUI menu interface.  The qiv image also has no interface, it can be launched only from the command line.  Also consider "display" which is part of both the ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick packages, so if you have them installed then you probably won't need feh or qiv - although feh still has some useful functions that make it worth having.You can open a single image in feh, or you can open a folder of images which allows you to scroll through a set of images with a mouse click or by using the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard.  Feh has some options that do things such as control whether Feh's window has a border, set the minimum and maximum sizes of the images you want to view, and tell Feh at which image in a folder you want to start viewing.== GPicView ==Simple and fast image viewer opens large image files well.== Ristretto ==This comes with xfce.  Has an interface with thumbnails on the left, and you can move through the images by clicking the navigation keys at the top of the window.== Mirage ==Mirage lets you resize and crop images as well as view them, so it technically is more than a viewer and therefore that might turn some people off that are looking for a read-only viewer.== [[XnView]] ==[[XnView]] aka XnViewMP aka XnView MP - This is far more than a image viewing software, and would not be considered lightweight.  However, it is extremely useful and highly recommended to have installed along with your favorite basic image viewing software.  [[XnView]] can open most any existing image format and export it to most any existing image format.  For example, if you need to open a legacy [[Paint Shop Pro]] image file ( PSP File ) and found the PSP Plugin for [[GIMP]] does not work, you can use XnView.  the XnView application is not (as of 2019) currently in the Ubuntu or Mint repository but can be easily installed from a deb package. * [[PDF Viewers That Are Open Source]]* [[PDF: The Portable Document Format]]
