fileformat notes

svg: if saved with pagesize <= object footprint, all viewerssee: GraphicsViewerProgramInfo have problems.
- so, scale final object total-group by (say) -0.05%.

display (imagemagick component)
- display [ [,..]]? -- displays first image in list, or fileopen dialog

gthumb -- ok thumbnail browser
- features: viewer/separate-win, '''find dups''', (tree-) find/view, catalogs, folders
- can change icon sizes, but there's no quick-change capability (eg hotkey)
- missing: xcf (has thumbnail but no viewer)
- subjective: UI somewhat awkward, needs gtk2 update
gwenview (kde) -- very nice browser
- features: thumbnails, xcf, svg, auto-zoom, fullscreen, properties-popup, bookmarks
- also browses into archives!
- icon-size slider -- nice
- missing:
- subjective: performs edits when I just want to view, then annoys with "not saved" msgs, also: configure is awkward, but factiory default is pretty good.
- broken:
  - supposed to have built-in video viewer? .. but, it does nothing.
  - all files view does not work!
  - images only view dowes not work
gqview -- also good browser, (small dir-pane, large image-pane)
- features: svg, fit-to-win, view-in-new-win, float-controls
- missing: xcf
- resize panes gives good thumbnail browser
- can change icon sizes, but there's no quick-change capability (eg hotkey)
- weird: (UI) clicking on image advances to next ???
eog -- more of a launcher than a browser
- open dialog (std gnome) has previews (no xcf,tif, ..)
- missing: xcf (crashes if try to open)
