   I'd love a Mac Preview clone on Linux but it seems impossible to find. Krita is frequently mentioned but it's overkill (and the UX is a bit clunky)

   In fact, I'd go so far to say that the Linux culture would abhor a mac preview clone: it doesn't do enough, other apps can already do that, etc.

   As Larry Tesler once said "The UX *is* the program!" It's not the *features* that matter but how they are presented. If there is such an app, I'd love a pointer!

     @scottjenson Question: What would Mac Preview clone on the web be like?

     I'm trying to understand how it'd differ from a nicer-presented implementation for displaying other filetypes utilizing built-in lightboxes.

     Oh, and in light of a previous conversation. I'd LOVE a mac preview clone on the web as well (PhotoPea is a bit like Krita, a reasonable app but overkill)
