Despite there are lot’s and lot’s of file viewers out there none of them satisfied a couple of (simple) requirements which are important for me:
Support for ‘interesting file separation’ (by copying/linking a file to a special folder while viewing) (Gwenview has this, but it’s broken)
File tagging without a proprietary database (best would be using the filename to store tags because this is intuitive and platform/tool independent)
Sexy slide show mode (e.g. with Ken Burns effect (pan/zoom))
Support at least for Linux
This is why picks (play on the words picture and pick) emerged. Among the features already mentioned the project goals are:
Easy deployment/usage on at least Linux/MacOS/Windows
Easy interaction (e.g. without the need to use a mouse)
Support for reading from attached smart phones (MTP support)
Tools for deciding whether to keep or delete a file (focus peaking, etc.)
Installation / Usage
Recommended way to install picks is via pip:
pip3 install picks
If you want to have the latest bugs:
git clone https://github.com/frans-fuerst/picks cd picks ./setup.py install
Run picks like this:
picks [<DIR>]
There is also a command line mode but very few commands right now. E.g. you can initialize the filenames of all pictures inside a directory:
picks --initialize <DIR>
