App for easy photo viewing ;)

I created a very simple but useful application for photo viewing. Very fast and easy to use. It opens and displays a photo and when clicked on one of the EXIF information in the table on the right hand side the text will be copied into the clipboard, i.e. the Lens Model would be a good use case for it. Then type CTLF-v and here you go: the lens model will be pasted into the thread or somewhere else.

The app is free software (GPL licensed) primarily aimed at the Linux platform. If you run Windows 10 and there is a Linux subsystem installed it may work (not tested). If anyone is interested in this application feel free to volunteer as a friendly test user. The source code needs to be compiled with Gambas and uses the libraw library to extract the EXIF information. I would appreciate your feedback.

Macs with Linux VMWare Fusion and Parallels virtual machines should easily run your app too.  I need to install a Linux OS and give it a try.

Two questions: what raw converter does your app use and what printer driver would you recommend for Canon iPF pigment printers?  I would be totally new to Linux.

The app is just a simple jpg and png viewer. For raw development you'll need LR or any other pp software of your choice. The app has only two dependencies to other software and requires Gambas and libraw from the repository. If you choose any rpm distribution open a root command line interface, the installation it's just a

dnf install gambas* libraw*

Printing requires the CUPS printing system which is part of a basic Linux installation. Ask Dr. Google or Canon for Linux support of your specific printer. Luckily the majority of printer manufacturer do support Linux in the meantime.

I updated the app. The download link is here

Changelog:

• Removed libraw dependency.
• Exifv2 extracts the Exif information while loading the photo.
• While loading the photo the lens model is being copied to the clipboard. No need to click somewhere.
• Zoom in and out with mouse wheel or slider

No Linux user here?
