fiv
fiv is an image browser and viewer, supporting BMP, PNG, GIF, JPEG, WebP directly, plus optionally raw photos, HEIC, AVIF, SVG, X11 cursors and TIFF, or whatever gdk-pixbuf loads.
Its development status can be summarized as ‘beta’. E.g., certain GIFs animate wrong.
Non-goals
-
fancy UI—the focus is on speed of use first, colour accuracy second
-
editing—that’s what editors are for, be it GIMP or Rawtherapee; nothing beyond the most basic of adjustments is desired
-
memory efficiency, though preloading can cause some pressure
-
portability to non-UNIXy systems
Packages
Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough. You can get a package with the latest development version from Archlinux’s AUR.
Building and Running
Build dependencies: Meson, pkg-config
Runtime dependencies: gtk+-3.0, glib>=2.64, pixman-1, shared-mime-info,
libturbojpeg, libwebp, spng>=0.7.0
Optional dependencies: lcms2, LibRaw, librsvg-2.0, xcursor, libheif, libtiff,
gdk-pixbuf-2.0, ExifTool
$ git clone --recursive https://git.janouch.name/p/fiv.git $ meson builddir $ cd builddir $ meson compile
To install the application, you can do:
# meson install
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:
fiv-browser { -FivBrowser-spacing: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; margin: 0; }
The GTK+ inspector will be very helpful, should you want to experiment.
