I Need An Image Browser Plugin
#1
Hello,

I spent years using Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7 (PSP 7) up to this year. I switched to Gimp a couple of months ago. 

PSP 7 has a image Browser built-in to it so I can see the images that I want to load. Does Gimp have a Image Browser Plugin similar to what's in PSP 7?
(see images below PSP-7-(01) 37k | PSP-7-(02) 174k)

I can not think of a dedicated Gimp plugin but there are image browsers that perform a similar function.
I use XnviewMP https://www.xnview.com/en/ looks like this

   

Using the linux appimage there, best place for downloads is the forum https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=41963

Same here, using XnView MP, for something like 20 years now (strating with Windows 98 or ME I just don't really remember Wink )

Just right click on an image and open with GIMP or just use the the shortcut keyboard auto assigned(Alt+1) on a selected image.
I'm using the .deb package from XnView MP

To set-up GIMP as "Open With" in XnView, it's extremely simple, on the screenshot below the red arrow point it out, just follow what the next window tells/ask you Wink

Rich, I just installed and associated it with Gimp. 
If I was close I'd give you a brotherly hug and good back patting!

The windows explorer can show large icons : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p21vg2yvyqs.
One click on a icon (photo or picture) with the right mouse button open a pull-down menu where you chose 'open with' and then gimp. Gimp is now activated and the photo or picture is load. If gimp was already open and one have no picture load for the moment, then with the left mouse button pressed drag the photo or picture to the gimp workspace. If one have already a picture load in gimp, then the picture you dragged is set as a new layer.

Tip: Drag it on the tool box or on Wilbert (the little Wilbert above the tool box) it will open as new image even if you have one already opened, You can also drag the image directly between layers and it will take its place exactly where you dropped it between layers (you can even drag n drop an .xcf full of layers and groups between 2 layers) Wink
