siimvi - SImple IMage VIewer, Qt6 based image viewer
The main purpose of siimvi is showing images fit-to-screen with easy toggle to show them in original size (1:1), but not to be able to adjust any image settings. Use a full image manipulation program for that.
siimvi is mouse centric, meaning, that all features are easily accessable via mouse buttons.
Right-clicking into the image will open a small menu with the programs options.
Using the scroll wheel of your mouse will cycle through images in the directory the first image with which siimvi was opened is in or, if more than one file is given as command line argument, the files given as command line argument:
scoll up = previous image
scroll down = next image
Left-clicking into the image toggles between showing full screen (only parts fitting onto the current screen size or shown) and maximized to screen size (scaled down to fit the screen).
Clicking the mouse wheel/middle button will show the image information. Exif information are supported, if the appropriate libraries are installed.
siimvi supports exif information to show images in the right orientation. Adjusting images via this option can be de-select in the settings dialog as well. (lib)Exiv2 must be installed to auto-enable exif support.
Currently only exif 'image' and 'photo' tags and somewhat 'Canon makernote' tags are supported.
More options can be accessed via the menu by right-clicking into the image.
The program is released under the MIT license.
Requires:
- Qt6, for compilation
- cmake, for compilation
- exiv2, for compilation, not when running (but of course, then exif information cannot be shown).
- ExifTool by Phil Harvey, not for compilation, if you want to see exif image information.
siimvi showing the 'right-click' menu:
Whether the image information, file name and/or size, should be shown in the lower right of the screen can be configured in the settings dialog, as well as the time for how long it/they are shown after loading the image.
