I'm looking for a FOSS image viewer on Linux that remembers the last visited image or lets me set a bookmark of some sort. Pix for example has the preference "Go to last visited location" - but that is just the folder, not the image itself. But I have folders with lots and lots of images that I work through day by day and it's tedious to find the one where I left off at the previous day.

Or is there another way of doing it that I'm just not thinking of?

Edit: BIG facepalm moment: I usually open the respective folder to continue working on my files. But if I simply open Pix, it remembers exactly where I left off last time. So it actually does what I was looking for, I was just not using it correctly. Thanks for all the recommendations though.

Gwenview has a history feature. I don't use it, so I can't say whether it would help in your case, but it might be worth a look.

Thanks but that seems to be for Windows only.
