Over the last few months I've been hacking on (yet another) image viewer for GTK+, using the hot new GVFS library (go Alex!) for asynchronous file handling and GtkImageView because I'm lazy.

It's got a pretty lean interface at the moment and is fairly fast in use. My goal is to use it on my Zaurus for reviewing images from a CF card in the field, so performance is quite important to me. As the primary users are photographers, filenames are not shown in the interface (just thumbnails). There is a lot of work left to do, but I've used 0.1 for some time now.

The source is being developed in a Bazaar branch at http://burtonini.com/bzr/katachi. I've just tagged a 0.1 release, a tarball of which is here. You'll need to build GVFS from git, and GtkImageView from svn, sorry. :)
