software utility that can be used for viewing digital images or pictures of several formats, e.g.,jpeg ,gif , PNG, etc. xzgv is used on computers using aunix -typeoperating system and theX Window System . Because xzgv is a fast, lightweight image viewer that is compatible with a large number of image formats, the viewer is popular on older, slower, resource-challenged computer systems. xzgv is a standard utility in theDamn Small Linux distribution, for example.Xzgv was originally based on the software toolkits
GTK+ andImlib 1.x. Most file formats are supported, and thethumbnails used are compatible withxv ,zgv , andGIMP . xzgv differs from other viewers in that it uses one window for both the file selector and viewer. xzgv incorporates a thumbnail-based file selector and is designed to be functional without using a mouse. Images cannot be edited or changed using xzgv.According to its
man page , xzgv supports the following file formats:GIF ,JPEG , PNG, PBM/PGM/PPM (collectively known as `PNM'), BMP,TGA (Targa),PCX ,mrf ,PRF ,XBM (X bitmap files),XPM ,TIFF ,TIM (the Sony PlayStation), andXWD (X window dumps, as produced by the X Window utility xwd).The source code for the utility is not under active development, but the code was updated in September 2007 to use the GTK+ 2 software toolkit [http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=203093&release_id=538674] . Previously to this development, the most recent update by the original author, Russell Marks [http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/X11/Graphics/xzgv-0.7/] , was a security patch dated
