Yeah, I'm unhappy with Gwenview in two ways: It would be nice if the
window would be exactly the size of the image and no wider or taller
(Ubuntu MATE totally spoiled me with this) and it would be nice if
images could be displayed at actual size by default. Neither is
possible, so I just accept the first one and keep an image editor
that I like around for the second one. I'm not sure if either of
those ties in with the algorithms you mentioned or not.

Hopefully Shotwell performed well for you, because it came up in
every search I did as the most popular solution.

I can't either in Gwenview 21.12.3. It seems that the printing
functionality is extended by the available KIPI plug-in in the form
of a print assistant that lets you select the page layout.
