Desktop photo organizers and viewers
This cluster comprises desktop applications for viewing, organizing, editing, and cataloging photo and video collections, with several targeting GNOME and supporting metadata, thumbnails, slideshows, and batch conversion. The dated history spans from 2008-09 to 2026-03 with sporadic entries—seven total—showing intermittent additions over nearly two decades, including a few near the end. Traction leaders are Geeqie, Eye of GNOME, and XnView MP, each with an activity signal of 0 stars, indicating limited community engagement in this market-intelligence signal.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 8 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
