To bad. I liked the speed and simplicity of Kuickshow. Opens fast, simple: 
press 9 to rotate, b for brightness (to me the two most needed feature for 
browsing) and page up-down for browsing through pictures. Gwenview do all 
these things as well just clumsier and too many features when browsing is the 
only purpose. Also, controling the software without using the mouse was a big 
plus.

Having used Kuickshow for years it seems like I will have to change to some 
other software. Is perhaps KView the most similar choice ?

Thank's
