I don't see how gpicview is a keyboard-friendly program. For example,
I can't even see a way of navigating round a large image with the
cursor keys. The only way I found of stepping through a number of
files is to use the OpenFile dialog box as a thumbnail viewer.
What have I missed? (There seems to be almost no documentation.)

Despite its limitations (eg no movies, and zooming is crude), I find
xzgv a most satisfactory keyboard-friendly viewer.

Cheers,
David.
