Re: [Gimp-user] Source of photos

Just as another option for PC,  Mac, or Linux is XnView/XnViewMP. 

It's a great image viewer/organizer/converter and would use it regardless, but you can configure multiple 
programs to open an image in and then access them by shortcuts. When I find an image I want to open in gimp I 
just hit "Alt+1" and it opens gimp if not already open, or opens image in a new tab.

It also has the added benefit of decent support for xcf thumbnails so you can browse your gimp files, and 
it's free for personal use. (No ads or nags)
