>>106543213qrd why windows image viewer (a basic component of a graphical system) is so bad?how do you fuck up something so simple you didn't even write the decoding libraries or anything
qview. no bullshit, just lets you look at the fucking image. make sure to install the packages to view webp garbage. this shit is basically the mpv of the image worldsudo apt install qt5-image-formats-plugins
sudo apt install qt5-image-formats-plugins
>>106543213Irfanview on Windows, feh or nsxiv on Linux.
jpegview
>>106543257on win 11 sometimes (randomly) doesnt let you use arrows to move left or right to next images... thats it... i hate it
>>106543257>>106543311I wonder how they fucked it up so much when the image viewer for windows xp was perfect.Also, on windows try honeyview.
>>106543323whats worse is windows removed the ability to sort FOLDERS by size... something windows XP did no problem... i dont get it
>>106543213>toolbars>irrelevant time-wasting panels>metadata info bleeding into your image-viewing experienceDefinitely not that. An image viewer ought to be as unbusy as possible. You open an image, you look at it, and then you close it. Nothing else.
>>106543409this or qview?
>>106543409you can just remove all the panels in nomacs and it'll look exactly like that
qimgv
>>106543213nomacs is great, i also love nsxiv. feh is ok but no gif support which is a shame.

Windows: FaststoneLinux: Xnview
>>106543494Irafanview is my fav for quick, lightweight edits in Windows though, or Pinta on Linux.
>>106543511>PintaActually no it's not, I'm being retarded. I stopepd using it and just use Xnview for everything, always.

jpegview is really good, but you can't draw stuff like boxes or arrows which is sometimes needed.
>>106543213https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ImageMagick
For viewing archives:https://www.nyam.pe.kr/dev/imagine/for just image viewing the standard photo viewer in windows suffices, especially since it will keep in mind whatever folder sort order you have set.The best image viewer ever was ACDSee 2.4 but unfortunately it is very broken today, gifs crash it nearly instantly and it has no unicode support or archive reading. Sucks because it blows everything out of the water speed wise.
>>106543281A gorillion packages will be downloaded and installed, do you want to shit up your system because the imbeciles couldn't make a static binary Y/N?
>>106543689now this is autism
I just press spacebar within Finder when I select an image and I view the image immediately with Finder. Pressing spacebar again closes it.

>>106543213Can someone explain to me why you would even remotely in any situation need a third party image viewer?
>>106543409>windows user hates computers checks out
>>106543769because the ones that come with windows and macos send thumbnails and hashes to the appropriate entities
>>106543789Is there a reason besides something that you have zero evidence for and doesn't actually happen and thus isn't the actual reason anyone chooses a third party image viewer
feh
>>106543789show proof of that happening with macosI use Apple One 2tb for my photo backups anyway

GPicViewit just werks and doesn't try to shoehorn in functionality i don't need
>>106543769Being unique and separated from the rest of the masses is good enough reason for me.
>>106544055]Apple publicly says they scan your images you save i>>106544641Ok
>>106543213I use Microsoft Photos on Windows 11, works fine, since I only care for the basic functionality of using it as a gallery and opening images, and it supports pretty much all the formats and just werks. I did try some foss alternatives, but none made me happy, ImageGlass feels bloated and it also had that very unfortunate stinky incident with them shipping spyware once, most of the big ones like XnView or IrfanView are proprietary and ugly as sin despite being super powerful and performant, Nomacs just feels like it doesn't belong on windows, it's like a bloated KDE program or something, and I don't like the way it always updates on first boot, I think JPEGView is really annoying with how it expects all configuration changes to be done through a manual ini file, the best third party one I found is qView, it's really simple and just werksy, so if I'm ever using LTSC again I'll probably just qView it up.

>>106543213cpview
>>106543304https://github.com/sylikc/jpegviewToo bad its been abandoned. It's so close to being almost perfect. Out of all the numerous choices, it's the only one I like.
>>106543619Windows 11 is the buggiest, most shoddy half-assed WIndows since the initial 95 release. Having to use it is such a punishment.
>>106545707What do you think it still needs?
>>106543597>IrfanviewI use irfan for so long that I actually had issue with it, it never supported interlaced jpeg decoding. Thing was when you had 386/486 decoding big images like in 640x480 jpeg would actually take time and you had to wait till image was completely decoded while with some other viewers image was decoded in passes with each pass being at higher quality so you got preview much faster than with irfan.Also had amiga at that time, 640x400 jpeg would take like 20 minutes to decode on amiga 2000.
>>106543213Default win11 viewer. Opens files in order according to folder sorting method. It even opens videos but not webms.
>>106543213i'll take a linux video playertruly border-less, always on top, each file opens in new window, next and previous frame jump, fading control bar, option for >100% volume, with loop and adjustable speed capabilities
>>106543281I use mpv for images as well as video/audio
>>106543409Opening images in window is super gaaay.
>>106543257literally fucking everything about windows is bad.
>>106543213Nothing I've tried beats XnViews's color handling. MPV tries to interpret the profile at least but not as accurately IMO and it silently fails to open invalid files. Everything else is like they're not even trying in this regard. There's also: loupe, nsxiv and swayimg; in increasing IQ requirement and rewards. I recommend these instead if you don't care about ICC profiles.

Nsxiv.window.background: #1d1c1aNsxiv.window.foreground: #4ca6e6
>>106543442This. I think it embeds mpv, so it can play videos.
>>106543213qview is nice, no toolbars or unnecessary buttons. But it's based on qt so it will install a lot of qt dependencies.>>106543469I used nsxiv once, it was okay but never bothered to tweak it. If it had the same keyboard shortcuts and behaviour as qview I'd use it.
>>106543213XnView Classic for loose files but here's a tip: SumatraPDF can open archives and CBZ/R files with images and view the contents in facing pages view, which is great for comics and book scans, and you can even drag a folder with images onto it and it will display the images the same way.
>>106545707It supports several newer image codecs with zero penetration, it will be at least 15 years before it fails to open something.
