MXIV is a keyboard-oriented media viewer intended to navigate heterogeneous galleries, displaying images & videos interchangeably. For interactivity, all actions can be called or keyboard-accelerated from the app's "CLI".
- Explorer - Navigate through files & folders without leaving the window
- Multimedia - Display a large range of formats such as PNG, GIF, WEBP, WEBM, MP3, MP4...
- Interactive - Fit display to width, height, set zoom, loop videos, play slideshows...
- Searchable - Open multiple folders as one, find or filter files through the app CLI
- Tabs - Create, switch or duplicate tabs. Then save, restore or delete session profiles
- Tags - Simple but extendable JSON tag database for file tracking
- Library - Gather folders & archives for tagging, search and quick access
- Asynchronous - No frozen GUI while opening a mounted HDD or remote directory
- Configurable - Accelerate any action with hotkeys, run your own scripts on a file
- Keyboard Centric - Favor keyboard commands & shortcuts over buttons & menus ( it's a feature, I swear )
- Electron - Application framework
- 7z (provided by p7zip on Linux) - To temporarily extract and view archived media files
- ImageMagick - To generate thumbnails for media folders & archives in library
- Font Awesome - Icon Fonts ( included )
With Electron already installed:
# simple shortcut
electron "path/to/src"Otherwise, see how to setup the repo, run or build MXIV packages.
Regardless of method, make sure 7z and convert binaries are available from your PATH to use their features, as they're not redistributed within the packages.
