i need a good photo viewer that will launch in a second when executing a .jpg image
I would like just a couple small features. If i open that image inside a directory, i want to be able to use the arrows on the keyboard to navigate through the images, and need a zoom feature. other than that, i dont want albums, photo editing, or anything else bulky. i can edit my photos with photoshop cs5. i just need a viewer for arch.
any suggestions?

I've used Gpicview for just these purposes for a while now and love it!

I think you will find it hard to improve on this

Viewnior might also be nice if you prefer something with a bit more GUI. I use Mirage myself, which is also nice and lightweight, but does include some of the bulky things you referred to

thanks, the gpicviewer works good, its nice and lightweight. the only problem im having with it so far, is i cant scroll through the images, once i open one, using the cursor keys, nor the mouse on the arrows in the image viewers GUI. what can i do about this? i would like to be able to open an album directory, and open the first image, then scroll through the rest.
as far as "this" at a first glance i thought you were referring to the gpicviewer, then i realized its a link to another post, my bad. is it feh? ill check that one too. thanks!

I'll be a snob and say that one doesn't "execute" a jpeg image . And fwiw I use mirage with the arrow keys but feh is good too.

Great things come in tar.xz packages.

When looking for light weight apps, please have a look at the lightweight apps page in the wiki instead of creating threads for every sort of app that you might want to have.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Viewnior is my lightweight image viewer of choice. The following...
build() {
cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
./configure --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-nls --prefix=/usr
make
make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install
rm -rf ${pkgdir}/usr/share/{icons,locale}
}
...installs at under 190K on disk and launches 5MB images within a second...
Arch Linux + sway
Debian Testing + GNOME/sway
NetBSD 64-bit + Xfce

One of the first apps I install on any Linux system is xv because it's a lightweight image viewer that opens in less than a second. I refuse to ever uninstall it.

Well, with a little help from binfmt_misc....

Gpicview cycles through just fine here using the up and down arrows.
