About pwall
pwall is modern style photo/video viewer and organizer.
It shows the folders of your photos/videos main directory
in the left pane and a photowall in the right.
The photowall is a scrolling panel of square thumbnails
giving a preview of each photo/video.
Loading and unloading of this
scrolling panel is made dynamicaly, viewing page by viewing page
like smartphones do.
It also allows you to have basics management of photos/videos
(change dates, copy a group of photos to another directory, delete, share, get GPS data...).
Clicking on a photo opens it in fullscreen mode. You can continue your navigation in this mode with left and right keys.
I use it as an alternative to Shotwell.
