Picks - View, pick and tag pictures
Despite there are lot's and lot's of file viewers out there none of them
satisfied a couple of (simple) requirements which are important for me:
- Support for 'interesting file separation' (by copying/linking a file
to a special folder while viewing) (Gwenview has this, but it's broken)
- File tagging without a proprietary database (best would be using the
filename to store tags because this is intuitive and platform/tool
independent)
- Sexy slide show mode (e.g. with Ken Burns effect (pan/zoom))
- Support at least for Linux
This is why picks
(play on the words picture and pick) emerged. Among
the features already mentioned the project goals are:
- Easy deployment/usage on at least Linux/MacOS/Windows
- Easy interaction (e.g. without the need to use a mouse)
- Support for reading from attached smart phones (MTP support)
- Tools for deciding whether to keep or delete a file (focus peaking, etc.)
Installation / Usage
Recommended way to install picks is via pip::
pip3 install picks
If you want to have the latest bugs::
git clone https://github.com/frans-fuerst/picks
cd picks
./setup.py install
Run picks
like this::
picks [<DIR>]
.. Note:: you have to run picks inside the directory containing the pictures
you want to view or provide it on command line - there's no
navigation inside the application yet.
There is also a command line mode but very few commands right now. E.g. you
can initialize the filenames of all pictures inside a directory::
picks --initialize <DIR>
