An image viewer built primarily as a single purpose replacement for the default Windows 'Photos' app - which doesn't hot reload files anymore. Built using Electron.
- Image viewer for previewing glitchart based on Chrome
- Hot reload - when modifying an image the viewer will refresh whenever the file is saved
- Accessible user interface, images can also be drag and dropped
Currently this project requires Node to be installed, run the following npm command to install Electron globally:
npm install -g electron
Then download dejaviewer, then extract and run the following npm commands:
cd dejaviewer
npm install
npm start
You can then drag an image onto the main window to open it. Pressing the Escape key will return to main menu and at the main menu pressing Escape will quit the app.
As this is a personal project I felt it wasn't necessary. However, I may add an installer in the near future as other people may find this useful.
- Build production (.exe) for Windows
- Autoupdater
- Navigate to other images
- (considering) Adding version control and saving/exporting files
Simply, I needed a replacement image viewer on Windows for making glitchart.
