And yes, I was a fan of xv for years, but that was many years ago, now. :)I don't know why xv is not relevant. It works more easily to display images, change image coding, manipulate sizes, crop, etc that anything else I have seen.As you stated, there has been no development on xv for years now. That alone makes it irrelevant. But here are some more reasons:
The main reason xv is dead is because the author refused to GPL the code. That's a shame, because xv was really good at certain things, even compared to today's tools. I particularly loved the printing features. Had the code been open, xv probably would have grown to be one of today's top graphics software, right there with gimp and al.
