For the longest time I used gthumb for picture viewer. I even

like in F24 (though I could try the liveCD and see...).
Anyway, Ristretto in Xfce is really not adequate, so I am asking
really
nicely, please for recommendations.
I guess it depends on what exactly you mean by "adequate" but I use
gpicview. My guess is that it is perhaps even less than adequate for
you, but it gets the jobs done for me.
Valid point. I 'grew up' with gthumb with all those years of using
gnome until I bailed with F21 for Xfce. The switch to Xfce was driven
by my work with the Fedroa-arm builds and on armv7 chips, you really
don't want to run gnome. Those early arm builds all had Xfce and I
liked it. So for a while I still used gthumb, but came to dislike it
with F22.
So what do I want a picture viewer to provide:
A directory tree view so I can go through all of my picture directories
easily.
A thumbprint view so I can scan down easily for the pictures I want to
see/show.
A full screen pic viewer that offers editing and printing.
Slideshow function and support animated gifs (I encountered one viewer
somewhere that did not)
Not a big list. gthumb on F21 was just right, but with F22 became too
feature rich (but was really good for printing).
Good timing for this topic! - I have been looking for what you want too
- I would also like to be able to control the size of the thumbnails -
sometimes they are just too small - I asked on the Thunar list if it was
possible to specify the thumbnail size somewhere but didn't get an
answer . .
Regards,
Phil.
