Eye of GNOME vs. ACDSee: eine gute Linux-Alternative?

Eye of GNOME als Linux-Alternative zu ACDSee

Aktualisiert am 18. Oktober 2026

Unser Fazit

Eye of GNOME is a poor replacement for ACDSee if you rely on organization, RAW editing, or facial recognition. It is a lightweight viewer only, suitable for quickly opening photos without waiting for a heavy application to load. If your workflow involves tagging, rating, or non-destructive editing, you need a dedicated photo manager like digiKam or Darktable. Eye of GNOME handles basic viewing and rotation well, but it lacks the asset management features that define ACDSee. Use it for casual browsing, not as a primary photo library tool.

Ihre ACDSee-Dateien öffnen

Eye of GNOME opens standard raster file formats directly from your filesystem. It does not use a proprietary catalog or database, so it will not open ACDSee's .acd files or any specific ACDSee project files. It reads EXIF and IPTC metadata from the image files themselves, but it does not edit or write this metadata back to the files. You can view any image that ACDSee can display, provided it is in a supported format, but you lose any organizational structure stored in ACDSee's database.

Von ACDSee zu Eye of GNOME wechseln – Schritt für Schritt

Export your photos from ACDSee to a folder structure on your Linux drive
Ensure your image files contain all necessary EXIF and IPTC metadata
Install Eye of GNOME via your package manager or Flathub
Configure Eye of GNOME as the default viewer for image file types
Test opening a few folders to verify slideshow and rotation behavior
Install a separate photo manager if you need tagging or RAW editing

Häufige Fragen

Can Eye of GNOME edit RAW files?

No, Eye of GNOME is a viewer only. It does not support RAW editing or conversion. You need software like Darktable or RawTherapee for that.

Does it support facial recognition?

No, it has no facial detection or recognition features. It simply displays the image as stored.

Is it better than gThumb?

gThumb offers more features like basic editing and organizing, making it a closer, though still limited, alternative to ACDSee's basic functions. Eye of GNOME is simpler and lighter.
