What is Reddit's opinion of feh?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Nothing is better than a good tiling WM. All you are missing are some frills from preconfigured/preinstalled DE elements. Here are some tips regarding the frills you seek.

I'm guessing gnome-keychain handles ssh and gpg keys? If so you would set up Funtoo keychain to handle ssh-agent. Just tack this on your .bash_profile:

eval keychain --eval --agents ssh --nogui -Q -q id_dsa # see http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Keychain

As for locking the screen, I just bind Super+x to call slock ((mod4Mask, xK_x), spawn "slock"). You could write a script to monitor input and eventually calls 'slock' OR much more easily install xscreensaver and drop this in your .xinitrc file:

exec xscreensaver -no-splash & # see http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/

Want another cheap frill? How about a background changer. I dropped this in the same file:

while true; do feh --bg-fill ~/.wallpaper/"$(ls -A ~/.wallpaper | shuf -n 1)" sleep 15m done & # see http://feh.finalrewind.org/

:)

They are just features I don't use, WPV does have features I don't use either like Burn, email, print so it was probably unfair to list them. It feels geared more for touch screens. If there was a windows port of feh it would be the perfect photo viewer for me.

Ratpoison should do exactly what you need.

I use feh to set the background:

feh --bg-scale /path/to/background/image

To open a terminal with Ctrl-space you'd put this in your .ratpoisonrc:

definekey top C-space exec urxvt +sb

You might try feh or nitrogen. Both are pretty great for standalone wallpaper management, especially with dual head setup.

Feh is great for simple one shot setting. Just run feh --bg-fill /path/to/image to set.

Nitrogen offers a GUI wall selection, and can be set in .xinitrc or your DE's startup using nitrogen --restore &

I've used both and work much better than built-in tools in my experience.

You can try feh. It is in extra repository.
It is a command line tool to browse images.
I have created a bash script to browse images with feh.

image-browser.sh

Usage: image-browser.sh /path/to/image-directory.

This script takes one parameter: image directory path. It will list all image thumbnails under that directory and sub-directories.

Note: The thumbnails are clickable and you can specify an application to open the image if you click one thumbnail.
In my script, I use gwenview. You can change it if you don't like it. Just edit the last line of the script:

feh -t -r -Sfilename -E $thumbnailHeight -y $thumbnailWidth -W $paneWidth -A "gwenview %F" $dirname

The -A option will specify which application you use and it is optional.
