picks 0.6.3

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.)
