Description:
 KSquirrel is a new image viewer, simple and
convenient in usage.

While all others use another's decoders, in
KSquirrel image decoding is based on own decoders
(ksquirrel-libs) which format is very simple. If
support of certain format FMT is necessary for
you, you can write the decoder for KSquirrel,
compile and copy in /usr/lib/ksquirrel-libs. At
desire you can use ksquirrel-libs in other image
viewer. 

Due to usage OpenGL show and a manipulation the
image is characterized by extreme speed :). Also
in the program customized filters, external
programs, tree, thumbnails, extended thumbnails
with the information on the image, flexible
options, etc. are available. 

KSquirrel is the first viewer for KDE widely
supporting such a quantity of formats, including
Photoshop PSD, X cursors, animated GIF, WMF, SVG,
and JPEG2000.

The detailed information, format of libraries with
examples, screenshots you can find visiting web
page http:// ksquirrel.sourceforge.net/

installed.

bmp, gif(static, animated), jpeg, pcx, pix, png,
pnm, tga, tiff, xbm, xpm, xwd, psd(RGB, CMYK,
Greyscale, Indexed), fli, X cursors(static,
animated), wbmp, wmf, svg, jpeg2000, exr, lif,
