Seems perhaps that it's workable. The devil is in the details, though.
It looks like the Nautilus image view used to do; if it works the same
it's still not good.

What I would need, really is three things:

First, having thumbnails work so I can step from full picture to full
picture with (for example) up and down arrows, without ever having to
"activate" the thumbnail (clicking on it, or pressing space, enter or
anything like that).

Second, do the same, but with the EXIF data screen visible.

Have an option to only scale images down, never up.

Improvements that gthumb does not have, but that I would really love:

Be able to see the most important EXIF data together with the image
(shutter speed, ISO and other capture data).

Have the app remember the zoom factor and place in the image and keep it
when you step from image to image (to check relative sharpness between
several images of the same subject, for example).

Be able to open the RAW file (not just the jpeg) with gimp from the
application.
