imv - X11/Wayland Image Viewer
==============================
`imv` is a command line image viewer intended for use with tiling window managers.
Features
--------
* Wayland Support
* Support for over 30 different image file formats including:
* Photoshop PSD files
* Animated GIFS
* Various RAW formats
* SVG
* Configurable key bindings and behaviour
Example Usage
-------------
The following examples are a quick illustration of how you can use imv.
For full documentation see the man page.
### Opening images
imv image1.png another_image.jpeg a_directory
### Opening a directory recursively
imv -r Photos
### Opening images via stdin
find . "*.png" | imv
### Open an image fullscreen
imv -f image.jpeg
### Viewing images in a random order
find . "*.png" | shuf | imv
### Viewing images from stdin
curl http://somesi.te/img.png | imv -
### Advanced use
imv can be used to select images in a pipeline by using the `p` hotkey to print
the current image's path to stdout. The `-l` flag can also be used to tell imv
to list the remaining paths on exit for a "open set of images, close unwanted
ones with `x`, then quit imv to pass the remaining images through" workflow.
Through custom bindings, imv can be configured to perform almost any action
you like.
#### Deleting unwanted images
In your imv config:
[binds]
<Shift+x> = exec rm "$imv_current_file"; close
Then press 'X' within imv to delete the image and close it.
#### Rotate an image
In your imv config:
[binds]
<Shift+r> = exec mogrify -rotate 90 "$imv_current_file"
Then press 'R' within imv to rotate the image 90 degrees using imagemagick.
#### Tag images from imv using dmenu as a prompt
In your imv config:
[binds]
u = exec echo $imv_current_file >> ~/tags/$(ls ~/tags | dmenu -p "tag")
Then press 'u' within imv to tag the current image.
#### Viewing images from the web
curl -Osw '%{filename_effective}\n' 'http://www.example.com/[1-10].jpg' | imv
### Slideshow
imv can be used to display slideshows. You can set the number of seconds to
show each image for with the `-t` option at start up, or you can configure it
at runtime using the `t` and `T` hotkeys to increase and decrease the image
display time, respectively.
To cycle through a folder of pictures, showing each one for 10 seconds:
imv -t 10 ~/Pictures/London
The `-x` switch can be used to exit imv after the last picture instead of
cycling through the list.
Installation
------------
`imv` depends on `pthreads`, `FontConfig`, `SDL2`, `SDL_TTF` and `asciidoc`.
Additional dependencies are determined by which backends are selected when
building `imv`. You can find a summary of which backends are available and
control which ones `imv` is built with in [config.mk](config.mk)
$ $EDITOR config.mk
$ make
# make install
Macro `PREFIX` controls installation prefix. If more control over installation
paths is required, macros `BINPREFIX`, `MANPREFIX` and `DATAPREFIX` are
available. Eg. to install `imv` to home directory, run:
$ BINPREFIX=~/bin PREFIX=~/.local make install
In case something goes wrong during installation process you may use verbose
mode to inspect commands issued by make:
$ V=1 make
Tests
-----
`imv` has a work-in-progress test suite. The test suite requires `cmocka`.
$ make check
License
-------
`imv`'s source is published under the [MIT](LICENSE.MIT) license.
