Too many images in one directory

Question

I have a directory with half a million JPEG files and it can't be opened in Nautilus. What is the simplest way to see the previews of these images?

Select folder with Shotwell, and let Shotwell create folder dates and such.

as @Tom Brosmann suggested, check if you have duplicate first. See the following page for that

You can try installing gwenview.

sudo apt-get install gwenview.

But still I am not sure whether it can handle a million JPEG files. I would suggest you to use command-line via terminal and categorize the files and then view it.
