Simple Image Viewer for Linux (freeware)

[andreyu]

Hello,

I make Image viewer for Linux, named Simple Viewer, based on GFL 2.80. It use only Xlib and gfllib.

It's Freeware.

Code: Select all

Usage:
  sview [OPTION]... FILE
  -h, --help    show this help;
  -i            disable on screen info;
  -s            enable scale to window;
  -f            start in fullscreen mode.
  -n            detect image by file name.

Available keys:
  <esc>         exit;
  <space>       next image;
  <pgdn>        next image;
  <backspace>   previous image;
  <pgup>        previous image;
  <enter>       switch fullscreen / windowed mode;
  <ctrl>+<del>  delete image from disk;
  <s>           fit image to window (quick algorithm);
  <b>           best fit current image to window (bilinear algorithm);
  <v>           flip vertical;
  <h>           flip horizontal;
  <r>           rotate clockwice;
  <l>           rotate counter clockwice;
  <i>           hide / show on screen info.

Thank you very much!

I have no Linux available - but thank you, Andrey, for your effort !

@Andrey: Perhaps it's a good idea to place some screenshots, here, so that people who cannot install or haven't installed your viewer get an idea. Please contact me via PM if you want the screenshots to be hosted on our server.

It looks like other windows without menu, tool-bar, status-bar. Only window title, loaded image and OSD (shown some image info)

Simple Viewer screenshot has been added in to first message.

Thank you, Andrey, for your screenshot. Simple Viewer looks nice and it has a fullscreen mode, too. That's good.


Some feedback and suggestions:

- The "13/96" is both in the window title and the info text. Perhaps the info text would be sufficient?

- The version number of Simple Viewer could (also) appear in help text, then you could remove it in the window title and thus have a cleaner window title.

- Is the "--help" correct? I guess it should say "-help", only.

- What does "detect image by filename" do? Does SimpleViewer perform a search?

- Perhaps a keyboard shortcut for toggling chequerboard background on/off would be good.

- Last not least: In the help it should say "clockwise"

May be you right.

Ok, in next build.

- Is the "--help" correct? I guess it should say "-help", only.

--help - this is correct. It is a unix way.

- What does "detect image by filename" do? Does SimpleViewer perform a search?

No, but it by default detect image by file content, not by file extension.

- Perhaps a keyboard shortcut for toggling chequerboard background on/off would be good.

May be

Thank you.

New build available now.

Hi

I have a request: could you perhaps please build some binaries of your program against an older libstdc++ for old systems (think: Debian Woody)?

I can then build a package for Damnsmalllinux and submit to the repo.

Thanks!

Thank you for all your answers (I'm late with my reply).

...

- What does "detect image by filename" do? Does SimpleViewer perform a search?

No, but it by default detect image by file content, not by file extension.

A clearer wording might be: "determine image format by file extension"

Which version?

[andreyu]

I add Simple Viewer to SourceForge.net.

Project page:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/simpleviewer/

CVS access:
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=231255

[WDef]

which version

On damnsmalllinux:

Code: Select all

# ls /usr/lib/libstdc++*
/usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.5

Assuming your souurceforge page has the sources I'll try to compile it myself.

Hello,

I update Simple Viewer GL. Now it use your hardware accelerated OpenGL for rendering, scaling, and more.

Main features:

• No WM / DE dependency
• Fast image manipulation
• Without GUI
• Hardware acceleration (OpenGL-based)
• Support very large PNG, GIF, TIFF, and JPEG images
• Ability to show pixel information under cursor

Go to Simple Viewer GL home page at Sourceforge.

I recommend to use latest version form subversion:

$ svn co https://simpleviewer.svn.sourceforge.ne ... mpleviewer simpleviewer
$ make

Gentoo users can grab this ebuild:
