Minimalist interface is minimalist. and very cool.

I have only taken Fragment for a short test drive so far, but I am already glad I took the time to download it. It does what it says it does: it displays many different types of image files and it offers a flexible interface for browsing menus and zooming into and out of images. It is fast and takes up little room.

The interface itself is extremely clean, which I like quite a bit, but after using a few Linux distros that were determined to stay out of my way, I am used to right-clicking everything to see whats what. So it may look sparse when you open the app, but seriously: right-click everything. If you see an icon, right-click it, no matter how small or seemingly random. To change the background and see the background options, right-click the background. Then right-click every single element of the little preference panel that appears.

If you keep doing this you will discover that there are very quick and handy ways to zoom to 100% as well as to browse additional images in the folder you are currently working in. And that a quick-changing background is really useful for evaluating transparent image elements/alpha-channel effects.

Update: Thank you for making the preferences text a little bigger! Unless I am hallucinating. Then nevermind or I guess it wasnt so small as I thought so nevermind.

After using this application for several months, I still find it to be a very elegant way to browse images on my computer and I love almost everything about it. My last remaining frustration: if I launch Fragment by opening an image file, the intial window size is very small, and it takes several gestures to zoom both image and window to 100% of the image size--even with images that are much smaller than my monitor. I dont know if I am missing a configurabe option somewhere. Ideally, I would like to be able to set a maximum width and height up to which any initial window will be the actual size of the image being opened. At the very least, a single click/double-click should zoom both image and window to the images actual size when space permits.

Thats all. :) Everything else is wonderful.
