Tiny Image Finder

Find all images in selected path and show its previews

This app recursively find and filter by name images in selected path and show its previews.

Rationale

Application developed at one day for self educating purpose to get more familiar with QML and cmake. Also I found no fast and convenient tools on Windows, Linux and macOS to filter and browse huge quantity of image previews - the thing I do often. This app is doing just this. Search algorithm is high level and straightforward, multi threaded and well scaling. The code is open source.

Features

• Fast search and preview images from selected folder.
• Image name filters.
• Recursive search - find images in all subfolders.
• Open selected image using system viewer.
• Show selected image containing folder.
• Supported image formats (may vary depend on OS): BMP, GIF, ICO, JPEG, JPG, MNG, PBM, PGM, PNG, PPM, SVG, TIF, TIFF, XBM, XPM.
• Windows, macOS and Linux support.
• Open source.
