Does anybody know of a picture viewer

#Post
1

that can display just the picture, without anything else around it, i.e no file name, date, file size etc? And allow it to be resized and moved around?
Ideally it would run on Ubuntu. I already have half a dozen picture viewers, but they all want to put the file name along the top.

What about LXImage?

That has three lines of stuff above the picture, and no way to delete them.

Oh well, I shall have to give up. Why do programmers put unwanted features in programs that get in the way?
imgViewOn says that it will display an image "without a border or top menu bar". That sounds good, but it doesn't work. There are 4 bad reviews.

MS Paint sounds like what your looking for but the closest Ubuntu equivalent is Pinta or Gimp according to https://askubuntu.com/questions/36577/is-there-a-program-lik

Feh a command line tool using options such as below will do it for you. Replace flag -Z with -F if you want the slideshow to run in full screen.

Install using "apt install feh"

feh -g 640x480 -Z -S filename /path/to/pictures/directory

Page up/down to scroll thru the slideshow.

LX image will go full screen and have no lines above the image.

Double click on the image and it ill come up full screen.

Also you'll need to use 'sudo' before the above command, but I'm sure you will know that by now.

Irfanview on Windows does this.

Not tried it on Linux, but should run under Wine

Listing no 2978765738 will sort it.

Thank you. But I want to see the picture without a huge black border around it. I want just the picture without anything around it. It's now too late - I have sent the picture off with the damn file name above it.

What is the resolution of the image? Maybe it is too small to fill up the screen?

Oh the picture is about 300x40. It doesn't matter - I can resize it to any size. I just want the picture by itself without huge borders or with ANYTHING else such as a file name.

If you resize it to the native resolution of your monitor, it will display without borders.

Use Faststone
It will run under linux & when you are in editing mode it is full screen no tool bars & when you are in slide show mode it is full screen with no text if you want that & it free a no brainer

The Microsoft 'Photos' app on Windows 10 does this, it's the default photo viewer but use 'Open with ... Photos' if it's not your default. Then click the 'Full-screen' button in the bottom right corner. Pressing Esc returns the borders and menu bar which has the rotate, resize, slideshow and edit functions if you want to create a video with music.

I don't want the photos to be full screen. On this occasion I want the photo to be about 300x40 and I want to move it around on top of another photo. It works perfectly with some picture viewers execpt that they also show the file name, which I do not want.

Your question is answered in #2. Config is the word.

What about using LibreOffice Draw ?

[quote=trade4us2...I want the photo to be about 300x40 and I want to move it around on top of another photo...[/quote] Well my tip is to save the photo's as PNG rather than JPG because PNG supports transparency so you can make the background invisible, then save the result as a nice overlay - if only you had the right software.
