There is no point in claiming speed, it turns out to be a strange focus to have, considering the amount of available innovations to make. The new name does not appear to be taken by anything important.

===
|
|
|
|
'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.
