A cross-platform image viewer with webm support. Written in qt5.

• Simple UI

• Fast

• Easy to use

• Fully configurable, including shortcuts

• Basic image editing: Crop, Rotate and Resize

• Ability to quickly copy / move images to different folders

• Experimental video playback via libmpv

• Ability to run shell scripts

• A nice dark theme, should look identical on every OS / DE

Note: you can configure every shortcut listed above by going to Settings > Controls

The idea is to have a uncluttered, simple and easy to use UI. You can see ui elements only when you need them.

There is a pull-down panel with thumbnails, as well as folder view (accessible by pressing Return).

You can also bring up a context menu by right-clicking on an image.

Bring up the panel with C or M shortcut. You will see 9 destination directories, click them to set them up.

With panel visible, use 1 - 9 keys to copy/move current image to corresponding directory.

When you are done press C or M again to hide the panel.

Starting with v0.7 you can run scripts on a current image.

Open Settings > Scripts. Press Add. Here you can choose between a shell command and a shell script.

Example of a command:

convert %file% %file%_.pdf

Example of a shell script file:

#!/bin/bash
gimp "$1"

Note: The $1 argument will be a full file path. Also, the script file must be an executable.

When you've created your script go to Settings > Controls > Add, then select it and assign a shortcut like for any regular action.

If qimgv appears too small / too big on your display, you can override the scale factor. Example:

QT_SCALE_FACTOR="1.5" qimgv /path/to/image.png

You can put it in qimgv.desktop file to make it permanent. Using values less than 1.0 may break some things.
