Very simple image viewer on tkinter.
I need mcomix alternative. Thus this program is developed.
Support these.
100h means go to next 100 pagepip install salt-viewer
or
yay -S salt-viewer
I use python3.9.3. However it will work on old version greater than python3.5.
This scripts use these pip modules.
And use these packages.
Now you can use salt-viewer command.
salt-viewer <image file | archive file>
If you use linux, you should use alias for time saving.
alias sv=salt-viewer
$ salt-viewer --help
usage: salt_viewer.py [-h] [--config CONFIG] [--icon] [--default_config] [--debug] [--fullscreen] [--prev_cache PREV_CACHE] [--next_cache NEXT_CACHE] [--fit_mode FIT_MODE] [--page_order PAGE_ORDER]
[--double] [--upscale UPSCALE] [--downscale DOWNSCALE]

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit

--downscale DOWNSCALE
Downscale algorithm. Nearest, Box, Bilinear, Hamming, Bicubic, Lanczos. Default is Lanczos
The only way to control SaltViewer is key press. You can custamize keymaps by argments or config file.
How to Use SaltViewer in default keymap. But you can custamize via Basic keymaps.
If you open image file in directory, NextArchive and PrevArchive command is works as NextPage and PrevPage. This command is assumed to use when opening a archive file like zip.
If you open archive and press PrevArchive, the first page of previous archive is opened not the end page.
In nested archive, like zip in zip or rar in rar, SaltViewer automatically open recursively till reaching image file. In other words, SaltViewer automatically open recursively and flatten nested archive in NextArchive. However, in the case of PrevArchive, a first page of first archive in archives is opened.
To move archive in archive, you can use NextArchive and PrevArchive. For example, assume that you open a sample1.zip below.
SaltViewer displays 1.jpg in nested_sample1. Then if you type NextPage, 2.jpg in nested_sample1 is opened. If you type NextArchive, SaltViewer open 1.png in nested_sample2.zip Thsn if you type PrevArchive, SaltViewer open 1.jpg in nested_sample2.
You can walk around archive like you are in directory.
If you reach the end of file and type, in this case 3.png in nested_sample2.zip, 1.svg in sample2.7z is opened.
Support config file.
Default reading place is ~/.svrc.
You can write default default config file by running this command option.
salt-viewer --default_config ~/.svrc
Be careful, this command do NOT overwrite a existing file.
You can change these keymaps via configuration file.
[Keymap]
DoublePage = d
# You can use repetition for NextPage and PrevPage.
# For example, 2h means goto next 2 page, type 100h go to next 100 page.
# If you want to reset number, type <Esc>, <Ctrl+[> or simply <[>
NextPage = h
PrevPage = l
NextArchive = j
PrevArchive = k
Head = g
Tail = G
FitNone = N
FitWidth = W
FitHeight = H
FitBoth = B
PageOrder = o
TrashFile = Delete
MoveFile = m
Quit = q
FullScreen = f
Reload = r
[MoveToList]
# When you press MoveFile key, then press key registered.
# File will be moved to registered place.
# a = /home/GuiltyCat/images/fantastic
# b = /home/GuiltyCat/images/bravo
# c = /home/GuiltyCat/images/wonderful
#
You can change these settings via configuration file.
[Setting]
# None, Width, Height or Both
DefaultFitMode = Both
DefaultFullScreen = True
# If you make this value too much, it will occupy too much memory.
DefaultPrevCache = 4
DefaultNextCache = 10
# true or false.
DoublePage = False
# right2left or left2right
PageOrder = right2left
# Resize algorithms
# | Filter | Downscaling quality | Upscaling quality | Performance |
# | Nearest | - | - | ***** |
# | Box | * | - | **** |
# | Bilinear | * | * | *** |
# | Hamming | ** | - | *** |
# | Bicubic | *** | *** | ** |
# | Lanczos | **** | **** | * |
UpScale = Lanczos
DownScale = Lanczos
You can set move list.
If you type MoveFile key, a place list is appear. These list contains key and place pair. Then you type a key, opening file will be moved to a place.
[MoveToList]
# When you press MoveFile key, then press key registered.
# File will be moved to registered place.
# a = /home/GuiltyCat/images/fantastic
# b = /home/GuiltyCat/images/bravo
# b = /home/GuiltyCat/images/wonderful

SaltViewer's page cache do something strange.
SaltViewer read previous and next pages around a current page. For speed, this preload is running on an other thread.
Preload thread read by one page, or half of self.next_cache pages not unpreloaded number of pages. And automatically deleted out of range pages.
Sometimes getitems may takes too much time and preload cache use used in getitems.
Thus preload should be as many as possible.
If you make next_cache and prev_cache too much, it will occupy memory and make your PC freeze. This problem happens when you tried to open high quality files.
You can create SaltViewer Icon by running.
salt-viewer --icon icon.svg
Icon format is svg only. Suffix is ignored.
