I've just discovered a new image viewer and editor for Linux that I think
some of you may like. It is very stable, feature packed, and very well
laid out. It can read over 500 different image formats and is super quick
and reliable.

It's called XnViewMP and is, I guess, brand new. Only on Linux could it be possible to have such a great program. Maybe one day it will be ported to Windows or Mac but, who really cares?

It's predecessor, XnView "Classic", has been around since 1998 and it's
never been identified as a problematic program in those many years since
then.

This 64bit version, released in late 2025, was also made available for
Linux, whereas before it never had been. I've seen it recommended in
various places and by many people over the years but I have never used
Wine and didn't care enough to try it by installing Wine.

It is fantastic though. There currently is no image viewer/editor that
can match its features available in Linux. XnViewMP is kind of what Nomacs wanted to be but never quite made it.

It's a full-featured image viewer that is really useful and can do just
about anything one would expect and is more responsive than any native and graphical Linux image viewer.

Thanks for the link, Paul. I also meant to add that it is extremely customizable down to grainy details. There are hundreds of different
commands with matching icons to be placed on the toolbar, not that anyone would ever use them all, as one example.

The first thing I did was download a pretty sleek looking Blender inspired theme/skin for it from here:

https://meshlogic.github.io/posts/software/xnview/blender-inspired-theme- xnview/

It also has panels that can be moved around at will and placed in any
position you wish, etc...

And if you really want to get serious about customization, there is an editable style sheet. I've only edited it, so far, to increase font
sizes.

For Linux, the license should be the issue as to why it is not in a distro.
It is a software which is free for personal use, but requires a license
in a commercial environment (10,000 copies running on the computers at GM).

For any OS company, there is a complex field of land mines to navigate,
to avoid being sued. Somebody has to read that license file :-)

Distros sometimes include commercial software, but the first issue is redistribution.

openSUSE or SUSE or SuSE in the past included things like Acrobat
Reader, or StarOffice. Or Netscape. They went to the /opt tree. A popup
could be shown sometime with the license terms.


Another example are the Windows fonts. A script runs and downloads the
fonts directly from some authorized server; the distribution itself
doesn't include it. A glitch in the license permitted this.

I don't know what you already do, Vallor, so it would be difficult to
answer that question. I only know that I've tried all types of image
viewers over the years, related to Linux, and all of them seem limited in
some form or fashion.

XnViewMP seems to almost have no limitations in what it can do. I will not that not many of the plugins for this Linux version are available yet but,
you don't really need them anyway. One plugin I'm jealous of Windows users having and it not being functional in the Linux version is an image
background remover.

XnView MP is a powerful, cross-platform image viewer and manager that
supports over 500 image formats (including RAW, HEIC, AVIF, WebP, PSD, and PDF) and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It functions as a
comprehensive digital asset assistant, offering tabbed browsing for
multiple folders, rapid batch conversion, batch renaming, and duplicate
image finding.

Key capabilities include:

Metadata Management: Direct editing and searching of EXIF, IPTC, and XMP
data, with full Exiftool support for advanced fields like makernotes and composite data.

Image Organization: Tools for tagging, rating, color labeling, and
creating Smart Albums (dynamic saved searches) within a catalog database.

Editing & Processing: Built-in tools for color adjustment, cropping,
rotation, filters, and watermarks, plus lossless JPEG transforms (turning, flipping, cropping).

Advanced Search & Compare: Complex boolean search capabilities, visual similarity matching for near-duplicates, and side-by-side image comparison
in tabs.

Output & Integration: Creation of contact sheets, slideshows, multi-frame images, and mosaics, with options to upload to FTP, burn to CD/DVD, or generate file lists.

XnView MP is free for private, educational, and non-profit use, while commercial licenses are available for business applications. It
distinguishes itself with a lightweight, responsive interface that
prioritizes speed and functionality over visual polish, making it a
preferred alternative to heavier software like Adobe Bridge or Photo
Mechanic for batch processing and asset review.

This program would probably be of no use to someone as advanced as you, Lawrence. If you went to the trouble of creating your own image viewer,
I'm sure there was a need for it that you specifically filled and XnView likely would not meet your required standards.

I do feel like it may serve the needs of some others here that may not
have known that it recently became available for Linux. Maybe some people
can at least be aware of it anyway.

Does it have some advantage to already existing software?

This is what I got from Brave Browser AI when I typed in "Advantages of XnViewMP over other Linux image viewers":

(Take it for what it's worth)

XnView MP stands out among Linux image viewers primarily due to its
support for over 500 image formats, a capability unmatched by most open-
source alternatives. It offers powerful batch processing tools for
resizing, renaming, and converting thousands of images simultaneously,
along with lossless editing features like cropping and rotation that
preserve image quality.

Unlike many native Linux viewers that rely on limited plugin ecosystems, XnView MP provides cross-platform compatibility with a modern,
customizable interface and a robust built-in editor for basic post-
processing.

Users frequently cite its superior performance with large libraries,
tabbed browsing, and efficient thumbnail navigation as key workflow
advantages over lighter but less feature-rich options like qView or
qimgv.

Key advantages include:

Extensive Format Support: Handles major and obscure formats including RAW, HEIF, AVIF, and vector graphics via Ghostscript.

Advanced Batch Engine: Capable of complex macro-based batch operations including conversion, watermarking, and metadata editing.

Performance: Optimized for speed when loading tens of thousands of images, outperforming many Qt-based viewers in heavy library scenarios.

Feature Set: Includes duplicate finding, contact sheet generation, and slideshow creation within a single application.

Licensing: Free for personal and educational use with no ads or data collection, though commercial use requires a license.
