I have folders containing a large amount of SVG images. A quick look up is not an option when using software like Adobe Illustrator. What I am looking for is a tool for simply viewing the files.

1You could use Inkscape's Open File dialog, which shows a preview image whenever you select a file in that dialog. This is obviously not the most comfortable option, so I just leave this as a comment. – ComFreek Apr 5 '16 at 17:14
You could use ImageMagick from the command line to view the images or to create a contact sheet like preview of the contents of each directory, with captions such as the file names and you can do so in a number of output formats including a clickable html preview file.
Lots of options and control available here using the montage command but one example would be:
convert 'vid:../img_photos/*.svg' svg_index.html
ImageMagick is a command line image manipulation utility suit that is:
- Free, Gratis & Open Source
- Cross Platform, Windows/OS-X/Linux
- Can read and write images in a variety of formats (over 200) including PNG, JPEG, JPEG-2000, GIF, TIFF, DPX, EXR, WebP, Postscript, PDF, and SVG.
- Can resize, flip, mirror, rotate, distort, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves.
- Has bindings for a number of programming and scripting languages.

ImageMagick is a nice tool, but for this case it is not really handy. – Herr_Schwabullek Apr 6 '16 at 8:50
