Image Viewer

I have one big problem with my current installation: there's no image viewer that I like. I would like feh, but it has too many command line options, and I figured it'd be a good exercise to make one myself. As of now, it supports opening a directory, and will load images ending in ".png", ".jpg", and ".jpeg", although it is a goal to be more dynamic in the future. It currently allows for sorting randomly and alphabetically.

current goals

• nice enough looking ui
  • popup bars for name, number in list?
• click parts for next
  • previous might be hard
• multiple sorting options
  • date modified? might be annoying
• multithreaded buffering (really only if its needed)
• wraparound buffering? dunno if it's properly in there
• size maximums, dynamic?
• sort into individual files
• zooming?
  • probably not?
• name updates with name of file
  • doesn't seem very possible, hover?
• clap
• a help popup

stretch goals

• handling images without proper suffixes? Through load errors?

• config file

• handle ALL errors

• open on a single image

• handle opening with no images

• get images from image crate so it loads more?

• pdf loader??

  • this might be a fully seperate project
