Autoresize Eye of Gnome windows

22 May '10 by admin, under software hacks.

Eye of Gnome is Gnome’s default image viewer. It does its job pretty well but there is one thing that I find annoying: Flipping through pictures in landscape and portrait orientation one of them is always scaled down depending on the orientation of the first picture.

Fortunately, Eye of Gnome supports plugins written in python. I wrote a simple script, that resizes to display the image as large as possible on the current monitor (Yes, it’s xinerama-aware). You can download it here: autoresize.tbz2

Just extract it to ~/.gnome2/eog/plugins/ and activate the plugin in Eye of Gnome’s options.

There a still some problems to be solved but it works fairly well so far.
