Hello @srhardie, yes this has to be the most requested feature.
I've been making vipsdisp
as a new image view window for nip2
:
https://github.com/libvips/nip2
That thing needs updating for gtk4, and image display is probably the bit that's changed most since gtk2. Since this will be a widget in a spreadsheet, it won't need multiple image support.
... having said that, I agree that as a lightweight standalone viewer, it would be useful for vipsdisp
.
... I decided this feature was more interesting than anything else I had planned today, so I hacked in basic support. There are a few things to look at still:
vipsdisp a/b/c.xx
, then left/right cycles though all files in directory a/b
vipsdisp a.x b.y
, then it cycles between those filesto view the second image, I need to use the 'Replace Image...' dialog or go back to Nautilus and double-click on the next file
git master vipsdisp supports drag and drop and copy paste, so you can just drag files from nautilus. Proper multi-file support is better, of course.
Thanks! This will be immediately useful in a large image processing project.
I compiled from master and tested it out. Cycling through image files using alt-left/right works great.
Looking forward to an updated flatpak on flathub when you can.
RFE - Are you able to please add keyboard shortcuts for moving forward/backwards through multiple image files in a directory. Currently if there are multiple images in the same directory, from Nautilus file browser I open the first image file for viewing. Then to view the second image, I need to use the 'Replace Image...' dialog or go back to Nautilus and double-click on the next file. This is slow for moving through dozens or hundreds of image files in a directory. Perhaps as mentioned in the vipsdisp TODO list, something like Shift-left and Shift-right? Similar to Gnome Image Viewer (EOG) using left/right arrow keys to move through multiple image files.
Fedora 38, vipsdisp 2.6.3 as a flatpak from flathub.org
