The principal of Carl Seibert Solutions and the owner of this site, Carl Seibert has become a metadata crusader. From clients who need to bring order to their assets collections, to website owners, to Creative Commons activists, the digital world needs to take advantage of better metadata. Contribute to flathub/com.xnview.XnViewMP development by creating an account on GitHub. Takes sometime to build thumbnails. I have around 40GB of pictures. All are sorted in date folder ex. The other thing is that I prefer to use gnome/unity environment. But else is great app. Hope it will be more interest of improving XnViewMP since I saw that your post was back in 04-2013 and I was the only one to reply (1 year later).

Usage
XnViewMP is available as an AppImage which means 'one app = one file', which you can download and run on your Linux system while you don't need a package manager and nothing gets changed in your system. Awesome!
AppImages are single-file applications that run on most Linux distributions. Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. No system libraries or system preferences are altered.Most AppImages run on recent versions of Arch Linux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Red Hat, Ubuntu, and other common desktop distributions.
Running XnViewMP on Linux without installation
Unlike other applications, AppImages do not need to be installed before they can be used. However, they need to be marked as executable before they can be run. This is a Linux security feature.Behold! AppImages are usually not verified by others. Follow these instructions only if you trust the developer of the software. Use at your own risk!
Download the XnViewMP AppImage and make it executable using your file manager or by entering the following commands in a terminal:
Then double-click the AppImage in the file manager to open it.
Sandboxing XnViewMP
If you want to restrict what XnViewMP can do on your system, you can run the AppImage in a sandbox like Firejail. This is entirely optional and currently needs to be configured by the user.
Updating XnViewMP
If you would like to update to a new version, simply download the new XnViewMP AppImage.
Integrating AppImages into the system
If you would like to have the executable bit set automatically, and would like to see XnViewMP and other AppImages integrated into the system (menus, icons, file type associations, etc.), then you may want to check the optional appimaged daemon.
Note for application authors
Thanks for distributing XnViewMP in the AppImage format for all common Linux distributions. Great! Here are some ideas on how to make it even better.
Pro Tips for further enhancing the XnViewMP AppImage
Please consider to add update information to the XnViewMP AppImage and ship a .zsync
file so that it can be updated using AppImageUpdate. Tools like appimagetool and linuxdeployqt can do this for you easily.
Improve this entry by shipping an AppStream metainfo file inside the AppImage in the usr/share/metainfo
directory. We have an online tool that makes it easy to make one.
The screenshot for XnViewMP has been automatically taken during a fully automated test. You can specify the URL to a nicer one by shipping an AppStream metainfo file.
If you would like to see a donation link for the application here, please include one in the AppStream data.
