Image viewer with mousewheel scrolling
Is there an image viewer which allows the user to scroll the zoomed image using the mouse wheel?
It's a crucial functionality, which I'm missing in EOG, gThumb etc...
software-recommendation eog gthumb

Nice. However, I need to be able to move around using two-finger scrolling (which is ~ mousewheel).

In gimp you can click on the magnifier (or hit Z) then press Ctrl and scroll to zoom.

Unfortunately, it seems difficult to configure most image viewing software like gthumb
, shotwell
, or eog
to do this. There doesn't seem to be any hidden options available in dconf-editor
or gsettings
after investigation.
There are two possibilities, however:
The first is
Pinta
, which is available in the repositories and supports scrolling a zoomed image well. It supports using the mouse scroll wheel to scroll vertically, and you can also click to scroll horizontally.
The second is to use
firefox
in conjunction with the image zoom 0.4.6 addon, and then you can zoom into the picture and indeed scroll it. Firefox supports most image formats, and you can just right click and open an image in Firefox or open it like this:
firefox /home/mike/Pictures/IMG_1207.JPG
which will then be displayed in the browser at the local address of
file:///home/mike/Pictures/IMG_1207.JPG
Firefox
can be used like a file manager for local or network files and most images formats likejpg
,tif
,gif
,png
can be opened.
As you can see in the screenshot below, there are settings for the scroll zoom when you go to firefox > addons > image zoom > preferences. Scrolling using both the middle mouse wheel or the two fingers mode on the touchpad works as well.
As noted in the description for the addon, you can use it to:
easily zoom in, zoom out, fit image to screen or set custom zoom on individual images...All this can be done by using the context menu or a combination of mouse buttons and scroll wheel.
Just open the image in
firefox
, zoom it up and then you are able to scroll it; it is about the best way of achieving what you want at the minute and I use it regularly.
+1 Nice! This might work nice for 1 picture. However, I am usually browsing many of them (reading a scanned book, with 2 pages per 1 image). I'll let this open in case someone finds an EOG-like viewer with mousewheel scrolling.

Eye of Gnome, eog
In 16.04 LTS
There are scrolling functions in eog
. This is how it works in my 16.04 LTS with eog version 3.18.2-1ubuntu2.1
When the cursor is
in the picture itself, the scroll wheel zooms in and out,
on the vertical scrollbar, the scroll wheel scrolls upwards and downwards,
on the horizontal scrollbar, the scroll wheel scrolls to the left and to the right.
Two finger scrolling works in the same way (I tested in my laptop).
I prefer to press the left mouse button in the picture itself and move it, which makes the picture move with the cursor. This works not only with the mouse but also with a touchpad: press the left button and move a finger to make the picture move with the finger alias pan the picture.
In Bionic Beaver (to become 18.04 LTS)
I tested eog
version 3.28.0-2 in Bionic Beaver Beta-2 in a Dell Latitude E7240 with a touch screen.
The mouse and touchpad work as in the older versions, but there is also new functionality, when you use the touch screen. You can zoom with two fingers (by moving the fingers from each other), and you can move one finger (or two fingers) to make the picture move with the finger(s) alias pan the picture.
It works like in a smartphone.
The working mode can change so that moving one finger can zoom and also flip the picture (rotate by 90 degrees). I have not tested enough (in the Dell Latitude E7240) to learn what makes the working mode change.

+1 because I was about to posteog
myself :) I'm not sure about the last paragraph because I can still use mouse scroll wheel to zoom in/out and use left click to pan the image. The last paragraph makes it sound like they are somehow mutually exclusive.

Doesn't really help. I'd like it to scroll like in Chrome or Firefox when you have a very big image. Hovering and scrolling over scrollbar doesn't work since I cannot scroll sideways when hovering on vertical scrollbar and vice versa for horizontal scrollbar. You know, some scrollwheels support scrolling in all directions.

Maybe using Chrome or Firefox is the solution for you until there is some (other) program, that can do what you want?

Apr 11 '18 at 8:02
@SeppoErviälä, Have you tried the default image viewer in Kubuntu Bionic (to become 18.04 LTS)? I would prefer eog, but maybe you would prefer the Kubuntu image viewer.

I haven't found a program which lets you scroll an image after clicking the mouse wheel button.
But Faststone Image Viewer lets you zoom to actual size by holding the mouse button, and while holding it you can scroll around easily with the mouse. When the button is released the image goes back to default. You can switch from actual size and default size with key commands A and B.

I was having a very similar problem, but Chrome worked for me. I needed to work with many designs thus all of them must remain open.
- Create a new Chrome window in case you are working with multiple images.
- Focus this windows before doing steps below.
- In the file explorer select all your images and right click.
- Choose Open with Another application
- Search / Choose Chrome. Sometimes you have to click on "See all applications".
After doing so, all your images will be loaded as tabs in a separate window, and the scrolling just scrolls, not zooms.
As an added benefit you can use your Chrome extensions as a color picker, just remember to give the permission to access files to the respective extensions.
I tried to use also measure plugins but I think those plugins are not aware of the use case of measuring files (in this case images) or there is some technical impossibility that impedes to work that way.
Hope that helps.

@SeppoErviälä, Have you tried the default image viewer in Kubuntu Bionic (to become 18.04 LTS)? I would prefer eog, but maybe you would prefer the Kubuntu image viewer.

+1 because I was about to posteog
myself :) I'm not sure about the last paragraph because I can still use mouse scroll wheel to zoom in/out and use left click to pan the image. The last paragraph makes it sound like they are somehow mutually exclusive.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix, thanks for your comment :-) I have tried to improve that part of the answer.

Doesn't really help. I'd like it to scroll like in Chrome or Firefox when you have a very big image. Hovering and scrolling over scrollbar doesn't work since I cannot scroll sideways when hovering on vertical scrollbar and vice versa for horizontal scrollbar. You know, some scrollwheels support scrolling in all directions.

Maybe using Chrome or Firefox is the solution for you until there is some (other) program, that can do what you want?

I haven't found a program which lets you scroll an image after clicking the mouse wheel button.
But Faststone Image Viewer lets you zoom to actual size by holding the mouse button, and while holding it you can scroll around easily with the mouse. When the button is released the image goes back to default. You can switch from actual size and default size with key commands A and B.

I was having a very similar problem, but Chrome worked for me. I needed to work with many designs thus all of them must remain open.
- Create a new Chrome window in case you are working with multiple images.
- Focus this windows before doing steps below.
- In the file explorer select all your images and right click.
- Choose Open with Another application
- Search / Choose Chrome. Sometimes you have to click on "See all applications".
After doing so, all your images will be loaded as tabs in a separate window, and the scrolling just scrolls, not zooms.
As an added benefit you can use your Chrome extensions as a color picker, just remember to give the permission to access files to the respective extensions.
I tried to use also measure plugins but I think those plugins are not aware of the use case of measuring files (in this case images) or there is some technical impossibility that impedes to work that way.
Hope that helps.

Uri: yes it does. What I am looking for is scrolling.

Nice. However, I need to be able to move around using two-finger scrolling (which is ~ mousewheel).

In gimp you can click on the magnifier (or hit Z) then press Ctrl and scroll to zoom.
