I am looking for a good photomanager.

Any Suggestions?

Well Digikam is a great one for KDE and F-Spot is a pretty good Gnome one. Google also just released Picasa for Linux which doesn't integrate as nicely as the others but it is very polished. I think there is another photo manager for Gnome but I can't remember its name.

DigiKam is great indeed. Have a look at their website, it contains tons of info and screenshots.

I'm looking around for a Photo manager too.
It should work very simple, because the enduser is a n00b :wink:

The features I'm looking for are:

* The abilaty to make shortcuts to folders that contain the photo's.
* No importing of photo's! Just browsing through folders, with thumbnails.
* Some basic editing of photo's. Rotation, making 'm black&white, cropping, etc.
* Renaming and deleting of the photo's.
* It would be very nice if it's a Gnome app.
* Localised (translated).

I tried several apps, like f-spot, gthumb and GQView.
The first 2 work way to complex. They want to import photo's into catogories, etc.
GQView lacks the links to folders and some Photo editing.

I hope there is some app like that out there.
