Simple Image Viewer

Simple minimal image viewer, built using SDL2.

Usage

Requires SDL2 and SDL2_image.

Point the binary to an image, or a folder containing images. simple-image-viewer path/to/image/or/folder/of/images

• Navigate with left/right arrow keys.
• Close with Q.
• Supported image formats: jpg, png, webp.

Installation

• Run cargo install --path /path/to/crate to install simple-image-viewer (will usually be placed in ~/.cargo/bin).
• Move the provided .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications.
• Run: update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications.

Known Issues

• Panics when attempting to open an image that was in the folder at startup, but has been renamed/deleted/moved since
• Does not recognize images that have been added after startup
• only tested on Linux
• in retrospect, SDL2 was not a good choice for providing a statically linked executable
