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 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.
qimgv should also obey the global scale factor set in kde's systemsettings.
APNG is supported via third-party qt plugin. (Included in windows qimgv package)
If you are linux user, install the latest QtApng by Skycoder42.
Viewing raw is supported via qtraw plugin. It is not included in windows release at the time.
NOTE: by default qimgv will be built without video support. See manual install for more info.
Arch: Available in AUR - qimgv-git
