  About GPicView
A Simple And Fast Image Viewer With Low Memory Usage
 
This little program is not aimed to be powerful or feature-rich.
It's aimed to replace the default image viewer of current desktop systems.
Fast-startup, low memory usage, and simple user interface make it a good choice for default viewer.

Features:
* Extremely lightweight and fast with low memory usage
* Very suitable for default image viewer of desktop system
* Simple and intuitive interface
* Minimal lib dependency: Only pure GTK+ is used
* Desktop independent: Doesn't require any specific desktop environment
* Open source, licensed under GNU GPL

The program is inspired by the defualt image viewer of Windows xp and another GTK+ 2 image viewer - gimmage. Although looked quite similar to gimmage, GPicView has much lower memory usage and doesn't require libraries other than gtk+ 2. Even libstdc++ was not used.

FAQ:
To make GPicView your default image viewer, open the preference dialog, and click the "Make GPicView the default viewer for images" button, and it'll be done automatically.
NOTE: xdg-utils is needed here. It's a tool released by Portland project of Freedesktop.org. Most modern Linux distros have this tool installed by default.
 
Requirements
This application requires GTK+ version 2.6.x.
 
  Latest Version: 0.1.9
Supported scrollwheel to zoom in/out only while [ Ctrl ] is held. (Patch #1885653)
