sview

sview is a sequence-aware filesystem browser built with PySide6 and pyseq. It provides a sequence-first view of directories so image sequences can be browsed as logical units instead of individual files.

Install

pip install -U sview

Run

Launch the app:

sview

Open a specific folder:

sview /mnt/projects/

Print the version:

sview --version

Run with scanner debug output in the terminal:

sview --debug

Configuration

On first launch, sview writes a user config file to:

~/.config/sview/config.json

It also stores lightweight UI state in:

~/.config/sview/ui_state.json

This file controls default file and sequence handlers, including custom commands for double-click actions.

It also contains scanner worker safety settings such as process priority and memory limit:

{
  "scanner": {
    "worker": {
      "nice_increment": 15,
      "memory_limit_mb": null,
      "timeout_seconds": 30
    }
  }
}

memory_limit_mb is opt-in. Leave it as null unless you specifically want a hard address-space cap on the worker process.
