Raw Blame History

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.
