## Features
- Fast GPU accelerated image rendering with tiled rendering for SVGs

2023-07-12 16:53:26 -04:00
- Extendable and sandboxed (expect SVG) image decoding
decoder: Use glycin for image loading expect SVG This gives us sandboxed image decoding and others the option to extend Loupe with other image formats.
2023-05-23 01:49:40 +02:00
- Support for more than 15 image formats by default
README: Add QOI format and feature section
2023-04-13 21:49:42 +02:00
- Extensive support for touchpad and touchscreen gestures
- Accessible presentation of the most important metadata
- Sleek but powerful interface developed in conjunction with GNOME Human Interface Guidelines
decoder: Use image-rs, libheif-rs, librsvg This adds proper support for a lot of image formats including SVGs. It will be the basis for many features to come. The technical core is an asynchronous renderer that can arrange textures in smaller tiles which might be generated on demand. Closes #34, #40, #41, #49 Basis for fixing the following issues #7, #27, #36, #43, #68, #71

Image Viewer uses [glycin](https://gitlab.gnome.org/sophie-h/glycin) for loading images. You can check [glycin's README](https://gitlab.gnome.org/sophie-h/glycin#supported-image-formats) for more details about the formats supported by the default loaders. However, glycin supports adding loaders for additional formats. Therefore, the supported formats on your system may vary and might be changed by installing or removing glycin loaders.

## Building
### GNOME Builder
GNOME Builder is the environment used for developing this application. It can use Flatpak manifests to create a consistent building and running environment cross-distro. Thus, it is highly
recommended you use it.
1. Download [GNOME Builder](https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Builder).
