Not everyone knows that F-Spot has a very neat viewer mode. By default
F-Spot manages a photo library, but if you invoke it with `f-spot –view $file-or-folder` it will work on the
provided pictures.
EOG in Gnome is a very decent viewer, but F-Spot has a nice RAW file support
for very quick previews. Another great advantage of f-spot-viewer is the
posibility to export to Flickr and other supported photo-sharing and
publication systems thanks to a recent patch by Thomas Van Machelen.*
There are pictures I
certainly don’t want in my photo library, but are easily previewable and
uploadable.
