Yeah not sure if #tut will receive an update ever again. Let's hope indeed and luckily I'm using #sxiv to display images and so far, don't face any issues (yet) 🤞

I'm looking for a :linux: #Linux image viewer that maintains the zoom level and region while skipping through a glob of images with the arrow or PgUp/PgDown keys.

I have tried (on :nixos: #NixOS):

❌ #ristretto
❌ #gthumb
❌ #viewnior
❌ #geeqie
❌ #qview (broken)
🫤 #sxiv (works in slideshow mode, resest zoom when skipping manually 🙄)
✅ #gwenview (+changed settings&keybindings)
✅ #feh --keep-zoom-vp works

I didn't notice up until now that sxiv's github page was archived a little more then a year ago. I don't know if I would have ever notice it if I had not seen other projects using nsxiv the actively maintained fork of it. But hey I guees better latter then never.
I didn't noticed any major difference between the two, not that I could name any new feature I like to see, it's does what an image viewer should, plus it's minimalistic.

#sxiv #nsxiv

And the award for the most ugliest application icon goes to 🥁.......

#sxiv 😂👎

Another feature still on my wishlist is to add browsable gallery/thumbnail support to a minimalistic wayland-based image viewer. This is functionality I'm used to from #sxiv and am dearly missing now I am on #wayland. Perhaps I'll dive into the codebase of #imv and give it a try; unless someone has better recommendations?

Simple #imageviewer in the likes of #sxiv but with ability to look through a directory of #images. Anybody a suggestion?

@Strubbl Fuer minimal und schnell, soll wohl #sxiv recht gut sein. Allerdings selber noch nicht ausprobiert. Ansonsten wird hier #Pix verwendet. Erinnert mich eher an das alte #ACDSee Ende der 90er (wenn das noch jemand kennt 😁)
