IrfanView Linux alternative?

The IrfanView web site suggests that you can use IrfanView on Linux under WINE.

IrfanView is something like iPhone amongst image viewers, there's nothing to change.

Try it! You'll never find an exact, drop-in replacement, so why not use the real thing?

You could also run IrfanView in virtualized instance of Windows on your Linux host.

ImageMagick has an interactive mode, but I've never liked it... But it definitely will load almost every image format out there.

gThumb is very slick, but it's a GNOME tool so it's not littered with options.

Eye of GNOME is just a dumb viewer, but it does most of the navigation stuff, and I think there's a "click to edit" option.

xnview has a beta MP verison. YMMV

I've used this on Windows, but prefer IrFanView

I've never used IrfanView, but it sounds like Gwenview could satisfy you.

The nearest alternative of IView for linux is XnViewMP --- not open but powerful. Still the best alternative on the market. Easy download and install, just unpack the tar.gz to the default subfolder in your user folder and run xnview.sh. You must only ensure that you have all the compatilibity libraries needed. I read that some people had an installation bug because of no libpng15-compat packages which includes libpng12.
