Hi,
Does anyone have a name on good tiny imageviewer? Im running openbox.

feh works well, but it does have a learning curve. It seems many who use it, use it just to set the wallpaper. See this brief tutorial, http://www.linux.com/archive/articles/55737. and the feh man page.
I'll use Mirage when I don't want to use Picasa or Gimp. Mirage is 716K and depends on pygtk and desktop-file utils. Pygtk is a rather large package.

I like GPicView.

My favourite is Mirage. It supports also animated gifs.
I also use Comix because it can read images from several archives.
Another Openbox user here.
EDIT: By the way, when I need to check just one image I use display from ImageMagick. Quite useful.

+1 gpicview.
small, fast, few dependencies.
It's the default image viewer for LXDE.

+1 mirage for complex picture view
+1 feh for simply view a picture

I've never understood why gliv isn't more popular among archers. That's my pick anyway.
If you do search, there are threads like this already.

gliv is very fast and smooth, but its UI sucks.

Feh, if you do not need support for animated images. Ristretto, if you do.

Geeqie is worth a try (and press Ctrl-H if you like minimal UI

+1 for geeqie.
From my personal and subjective experience it seems to be one of the fastest viewers around.

+1 as well, it's the fastest viewer i've come across. i dont think it supports animated gifs though, does it? i havent really looked into that

it's ridiculously fast. It only works in the framebuffer, but it is great if you're in an X free environment.

I am looking for the right image viewer too, and it's not that easy.
Can't use Ristretto (though I normally use xfce apps) nor Mirage cause their mouse scrolling works in the wrong direction (do you know what I mean)?
I've been a long-time GPicView user but I'm starting to hate that unhideable toolbar and I can't stand that zooming doesn't follow mouse pointer.
Switched to Geeqie (the successor of GQview) that is still quite fast (not as GPicView) and has some nice features, *BUT* it can't open multiple images in multiple windows when browsing pictures from your file manager --> http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=93496
I was starting to give up my research but yesterday I tried the new Crunchbang Statler and the new Slitax on my VirtualBox and discovered that both of them use an awesome image viewer: Viewnior
It is lighting fast (like GPicView), scrolling zooms in the right direction, zooming follows mouse pointer, has a minimal interface and mouse customizable actions.
The only thing is that you can't hide the menubar, but that's a minor point and I've filled a blueprint for that.
You can find it in the AUR. Really hope to see it in [community] soon!
