fastiv
======
2021-09-16 12:35:36 +02:00
'fastiv' is a fast image viewer, supporting BMP, PNG, GIF, JPEG, and optionally
raw photos, HEIC, AVIF, SVG, X11 cursors and TIFF, or whatever gdk-pixbuf loads.

It still has some road to go, but it's already become quite usable,
and it has received basic polishing.

Non-goals
---------
- fancy UI--the focus is on speed of use first, colour accuracy second
2021-11-22 16:34:00 +01:00
- editing--that's what _editors_ are for, be it GIMP or Rawtherapee;
nothing beyond the most basic of adjustments is desired
2021-09-16 18:39:33 +02:00
- memory efficiency, though preloading can cause some pressure
2021-11-01 04:49:24 +01:00
- portability to non-UNIXy systems

Packages
--------

a package with the latest development version from Archlinux's AUR.

Configuration
-------------
The standard means to adjust the looks of the program is through GTK+ 3 CSS.
As an example, to tightly pack browser items, put the following in your
_~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css_:
fastiv-browser { -FastivBrowser-spacing: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; margin: 0; }

The GTK+ inspector will be very helpful, should you want to experiment.
