Image Viewer - Automatically fill window with image

Question

When I maximise an Image Viewer window, the picture stays the same size. In the view options none of them seem to make the image just fill the window.

I can zoom in but that is quite irritating as I have to compare several pictures in a folder and it forgets that I zoomed in when I return to a picture.

Is there anyway to change the default behaviour? Or perhaps there is a different program I should be using?

Note: This is for my work computer which will be sticking with 11.10 for at least another month, but any 12.04 specific advice would also be much appreciated.

Answer 1

You could always use feh instead. feh -ZXrF ./ results in a full screen image of all subfolders recursively and you can navigate with the arrow keys. Change to feh -ZXrFD 5 ./ to auto-advance after 5 seconds.

Answer 2

So What you are asking for manipulating image ....like when you zoom it and save it , it should to saved as you have zoomed it .

If this is the case try out GIMP . A very good image editing tool . A new version is available also through PPA . You can find in the details in the link provided GIMP 2.8
