What do people recommend for managing images (i.e. hundreds of digital camera pictures)? I don't fant a full blown image manipulation and album creation thing like digikam, I want a basic file manager that will show me thumbnail images and allow me to drag and drop them around the place.
In that case just use Konqueror, which has varying degrees of image-orientatedness depending on what you want.
Yes, that's pretty close to what I'm after, thanks. The only issue at the moment is that it's not displaying thumbnails for my .jpg files, it's just showing a camera icon. Is there a setting I can change somewhere so it shows thumbnails?
There are two possible settings that are relevant: photo view, a special mode which shows thumbnails down the right-hand side and a full view in the main body of Konqueror; and there's also the more generic icon view mode.
It seems to default to 'icon view' and that's the mode where it shows me just a collection of 'cameras', not actual thumbnails of my pictures. In 'photo view' I do get what you describe, thumbnails down the RHS and a larger view of the selected one.
How can I get the 'icon view' to show me thumbnails, that's what I really want.
CheckKonqueror's Settings | Configure Konqueror | Previews and Metadata to make sure that the "file" protocol (under "Local Protocols") is checked and maybe increase the maximum filesize for previews. Note, however, that it takes longer to make thumbnails of larger images.
Aha, that's how to do it, thanks! The 'file' protocol wasn't checked by default. Now I have just what I want.
Thanks again.
