Eye of Gnome is a program for viewing images and managing collections of images. It does proper handling of large images, say, scanned posters at full resolution. It supports full opacity or alpha channel information. Eye of Gnome can zoom and scroll large images quickly while keeping memory usage constant.
The functionality to work as a program for managing collections of images is not yet implemented as of version 0.4, but it is planned for the future. The goal is for Eye of Gnome to become a useful tool for photographers and other people who have to maintain large collections of images in an organized fashion. [1]
Eye of Gnome was written by Federico Mena Quintero <federico@gnu.org>.
Arik Devens <arik@helixcode.com> wrote the code for setting the configuration options.
Eliot Landrum <eliot@landrum.cx> wrote the first version of this manual.
Damien Diederen <dash@linuxbe.org> wrote the original fast scaling code that was the inspiration for Eye of Gnome.
Mark Crichton <crichton@gimp.org> wrote the initial versions of the gdk-pixbuf library, and bravely maintained the Imlib library for GNOME's purposes. He also rode many of us in the famous minivan of death.
Tuomas Kuosmanen <tigert@gimp.org> created the cute icon for Eye of Gnome, as well as lots of nice artwork. That artwork was proudly viewed in Eye of Gnome as well.
Raph Levien <raph@gimp.org> wrote the libart library, microtile arrays, GdkRGB, and some awesome code for doing imaging fast. He also provided a bottomless pit of knowledge.
Michael Meeks <mmeeks@gnu.org> wrote the initial Bonobo component for Eye of Gnome, and provided good feedback all along.
Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@eazel.com>, all-around super hacker, provided excellent feedback for Eye of Gnome.
Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com> wrote the awesome scaling and compositing functions for gdk-pixbuf. He also provided a really bottomless pit of knowledge.
Carsten “The Rasterman” Haitzler <raster@rasterman.com> provided many interesting discussions about classification of images and other imaging stuff. He also throws the best parties.
The GNOME translation team let us use Eye of Gnome in a zillion twisty languages, all different.
