Do you know the feeling when you’re back from holidays and all you need to do is look through a thousand pictures or more? I know the feeling. And I never really had a good tool to do it. Apple’s iPhoto? Apple’s Preview? Apple’s Finder? Emacs with `image-dired`?
The answer turns out to be Geeqie. Use `m` to show marks and use the numbers 1-9 to assign marks. I used 1 for “album”, 2 for “delete”, 3 for “Alex standing in front of things” and so on. Quickly go through the entire list. Then filter by marks and use `Ctrl + d` to delete or `Ctrl + m` to move images around.
That’s 99% of what I need to do with images!

This looks like it’ll be really useful for culling ahead of Lightroom import. Thanks!

Isn’t this what Lightroom is supposed to do? I thought Geeqie was basically a Free Software alternative to Lightroom and the like with fewer features?
