It still needs no versioning, as it's not really used by anyone.
An alternative method of passing a "low-quality" flag would be
perusing fiv_thumbnail_key_lq from fiv-thumbnail.c, which would
create a circular dependency, unless fiv_io_{de,}serialize*()
were moved to fiv-thumbnail.c.

fiv
fiv is a slightly unconventional, general-purpose image browser and viewer.
Features
-
Uses a compact thumbnail view, helping you browse collections comfortably.
-
Supports BMP, (A)PNG, GIF, TGA, JPEG, WebP directly, plus optionally raw photos, HEIC, AVIF, SVG, X11 cursors and TIFF, or whatever your gdk-pixbuf modules manage to load.
-
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 effort.
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
Optional dependencies: lcms2, LibRaw, librsvg-2.0, xcursor, libheif, libtiff,
ExifTool, resvg (unstable API, needs to be requested explicitly)
$ 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
The lossless JPEG cropper is intended to be invoked from a context menu.
Documentation
For information concerning usage, refer to the user guide, which can be invoked from within the program by pressing F1.
