I'm looking for a 
#Linux image viewer that maintains the zoom level and region while skipping through a glob of images with the arrow or PgUp/PgDown keys.
I have tried (on 
#NixOS):
❌ #ristretto
❌ #gthumb
❌ #viewnior
❌ #geeqie
❌ #qview (broken)
🫤 #sxiv (works in slideshow mode, resest zoom when skipping manually 🙄)
✅ #gwenview (+changed settings&keybindings)
✅ #feh --keep-zoom-vp works
@bdiederik I don't know, what the heck is this?

@nobodyinperson dont know i use it to watch porn.
Well hidden away. No nonsense good images displayed. Good zoom.
@nobodyinperson geeqie can be configured to keep a zoom and position across images but works on directories and its own filtering, not a glob from the CLI.
I think it was `feh` that I got to do this too, but I can't remember if it was out of the box or scipting it to foo. I sometimes use `magick` to preprocess a batch of images to a specific crop location for more robust previewing (and diffing) options.
@alerque AAAh, there is
> feh --keep-zoom-vp *.png
👍 Thanks! The feh window still flies all over the place sometimes, but this might be workable.
@nobodyinperson Yes `feh` is a bit spastic. I think it sometimes closes and spawns new widows instead of reusing them when switching files or modes. I cope using window manager rules to force it's hand on where to put itself.
You might check of `oculante` has this feature yet.
@thibaultmol Indeed! I also like its smooth transition between images, though it slows it down quite a bit.
However, it seems arrow and page keys then move the viewport and don't skip through the images anymore... 🫤
@nobodyinperson I can report that Pix appears to not be able to do those two things. Unless you can figure out how to write a shell script to do those actions (which it accepts in the Personalize menu option).
XnView MP allows you to lock the zoom and it keeps the zoom position--but only until you get to a photo with a different ratio and/or size. At first glance, I don't think it lets you PgUp/PgDown, but the roller moves through them very quickly.
