3Split the images into multiple directories. You aren't going to view all 500000 previews anyway. – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Sep 07 '12 at 12:46

1I just want to see what is inside the directory. Like how the pictures look like. With Nautilus I cant do that because it freezes. I tried Shotwell and it is now importing the images (without copying). It is performing very very slow though. – Slazer Sep 07 '12 at 12:50

You have half a million images. Its gonna take some time, when shotwell is done you can view them by using shotwell. or via nautilus – blade19899 Sep 07 '12 at 14:09

@blade19899 You should post that first comment as an answer, especially if it works. To the OP: Are there many duplicates? That's a lot of files and you might try de-duplicating first. – Tom Brossman Sep 07 '12 at 14:11

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.
