fastiv
======
'fastiv' is a fast image viewer, supporting BMP, PNG, GIF, JPEG, and optionally
raw photos, HEIC, AVIF, WebP, SVG, X11 cursors and TIFF, or whatever gdk-pixbuf
loads.
Its development status can be summarized as '`beta`'. E.g., colour management
is partial, and 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,
spng>=0.7.0, libturbojpeg +
Optional dependencies: lcms2, LibRaw, librsvg-2.0, xcursor, libwebp, libheif,
libtiff, gdk-pixbuf-2.0, ExifTool
$ git clone --recursive https://git.janouch.name/p/fastiv.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.
