fiv
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
'fiv' is a slightly unconventional, general-purpose image browser and viewer.
|
|
|
|
image::fiv.webp["Screenshot of both the browser and the viewer"]
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
- Uses a compact thumbnail view, helping you browse collections comfortably.
|
|
- Supports BMP, (A)PNG, GIF, JPEG, WebP directly, plus optionally raw photos,
|
|
HEIC, AVIF, SVG, X11 cursors and TIFF, or whatever gdk-pixbuf loads.
|
|
- Employs high-performance file format libraries: Wuffs and libjpeg-turbo.
|
|
- Makes use of 30-bit X.org visuals, whenever it's possible and appropriate.
|
|
- Has a notion of pages, and tries to load all included content within files.
|
|
|
|
Explicit non-goals
|
|
------------------
|
|
- Editing--that's what _editors_ are for, be it GIMP or Rawtherapee;
|
|
nothing beyond the most basic of adjustments is desired.
|
|
- Following the latest GNOME HIG to the letter--header bars are deliberately
|
|
avoided, for their general user hostility.
|
|
- Portability to non-UNIXy systems, although patches are welcome.
|
|
- Memory efficiency is secondary to both performance and development time.
|
|
|
|
Aspirations
|
|
-----------
|
|
Show colours as accurately as hardware allows. Open everything. Be fast.
|
|
Not necessarily in this order.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
Considering the vast amount of dynamically-linked dependencies, do not attempt
|
|
direct installations. To test the program, help it find its custom thumbnailer:
|
|
|
|
$ PATH=$(pwd):$PATH ./fiv
|
|
|
|
Pressing F1 will give you a convenient list of keyboard shortcuts.
|
|
|
|
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; }
|
|
|
|
Similarly, you can adjust some of the key bindings, as per the command table
|
|
in link:fiv-view.h[]:
|
|
|
|
@binding-set ViewBindings { bind 'p' { 'command' (print) }; }
|
|
fiv-view { -gtk-key-bindings: ViewBindings; }
|
|
|
|
Should you want to experiment, you will find the GTK+ inspector very helpful.
