Nova launcher - there isn’t a good one for one FOSS replacement. Every launcher I tried from fdroid has at least one shortcoming (if not more).
I like how it supports animated webp and gif files right out of the box. Would be perfect if you could open images from the file manager and navigate, but it doesn’t look like that’s in the works.
Sounds interesting, but the requirements say it needs gnome-desktop. I’m using Hyprland on NixOS, so it doesn’t sound like this will work for my setup unfortunately. Thank you for the suggestion. Hopefully this helps others.
Gwenview looks a little too full featured, but the Gnome Image Viewer (Loupe) works well. No dependencies needed in Nix, and the arrow keys let you flip between different images that are in the same folder. All of the on-screen functionality works (copy, move to trash, zoom in/out, toggle full-screen, etc.), and keyboard shortcuts and gestures work great. The only bug I have to work out is that it doesn’t respect the gtk theme I have configured (GTK 2, 3, and 4). Otherwise, seems like a good option.
Unfortunately, --all isn’t an option. The following options are available in swayimg:
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-r, --recursive read directories recursively
-o, --order=ORDER set sort order for image list: none/[alpha]/random
-s, --scale=SCALE set initial image scale: [optimal]/fit/width/height/fill/real
-l, --slideshow activate slideshow mode on startup
-f, --fullscreen show image in full screen mode
-p, --position=POS set window position [parent]/X,Y
-g, --size=SIZE set window size: [parent]/image/W,H
-a, --class=NAME set window class/app_id
-c, --config=S.K=V set configuration parameter: section.key=value
-v, --version print version info and exit
-h, --help print this help and exit
I navigated to my screenshot folder in terminal and opened an image using swayimg -r
but it wouldn’t let me navigate with n or p. I also tried going to my Pictures folder and used swayimg Screenshots/*
like this thread suggested, but still no luck.
