1. Would it be possible to make sxiv work with the +/- keys on the numpad?

Yes, it's already in the current HEAD.

2. After viewing the last image in a set, could sxiv just cycle though the images instead of having an end?

I prefer the current behaviour. You have to change the code by yourself, to get this behaviour.

I don't know how anyone can prefer it not to be able to cycle through.

Simple: I want to see every picture. Once.

Simple: Go to the last picture and stop.

After 15k pictures I may not be able to tell whether I've seen it already and instead of keeping my eye on the counter I prefer to get "You shall not pass" :-)

Maybe we should make a patch collection somewhere (like this: http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/). Better to collect patches than to fight about the way. This dotshare thingy could be a solution. Here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=121366

Hi, I have a feature request:
sxiv should be able to use X resources.
Maybe it's just me, but I find myself always recompiling sxiv just to set BG_COLOR to match *background, and SEL_COLOR to *color10.
Woud be nice if sxiv could just use the resource sxiv*background for BG_COLOR, and sxiv*borderColor (or selColor, whatever) as SEL_COLOR.
What do you think?

You want to cycle? Simple: Use the 'g' key once you're on the last image.

Exactly! I wanted to keep sxiv simple and I think right now it has anything build in, which is required for simply viewing a bunch of images. If you can't live without a certain feature, implement it by yourself and make your changes available to others. If other users like your patch, it might be included upstream.

I wanted to keep sxiv config-free. config.h is meant as a concession to users, who wanted to change some aspects and it's dead simple. I will not use the X resource database or a config file. Sorry.

ber_t, it's really nice to see, that you are very strict when it comes to new features. I'm not being sarcastic, I really mean it!

Yepp, that's what I wanted to say. Thumbs up!

Could sxiv display some basic information about images? eg. resolution.

You could use mediainfo or lesspipe (lesspipe is kinda verbose though).

strcat@arch i ~/images % mediainfo bear.jpg

The resolution is already in the window title, e.g.

sxiv: [25/39] <62%> <1280x720> (99.33K) images/shot0001.png

Usually this gets displayed in the window title bar or/and panel, but I do agree it would be better if sxiv could draw such info in the window on demand, so that users who hide their panel and window title bar could actually see this info.

First a thank you, I'm indeed much happier browsing images with sxiv than I was when I used feh, but two questions.

a) since keeping feh would be redundant, what do you guys (now) use for setting your wallpapers(for me, it should be able to handle nVidia TwinView)?

b) how about a simple action to pass on the currently viewed image to another application? I'm thinking about something like this: `sxiv -r /some/path | someapp`. So for example, I view some images, find one to be good as a wallpaper, press some key - ie. ^o - sxiv prints the path of the currently viewed image to stdout.
Edit, should have taken a look into config.h and setup commands there...

imlibsetroot -s '/path/to/file'

in my ~/.xinitrc

Version 0.9 is out!

I've refactored the code to allow for customizable key and mouse bindings.

Using your old config.h will result in compilation errors! Please have a look at the new default config.h and adapt it to your needs.

gorilla · 2011-08-17 14:33:42

Thanks! Works fine and feels a bit faster imo...

bloom · 2011-08-17 14:50:25

I would be nice to have a special char to represent the absolute path of the filename in the custom commands.
I made a 'ln -s -t ~/tmp #' but '#' is relative and therefore I don't get the expected result.

Edit:
Replacing '#' by '$PWD/#' is working, so, I guess you can ignore my request...

@bloom
I've completely revised the handling of file names and paths in sxiv.
The mixed usage of absolute and relative paths was somewhat inconsistent and it was quite unnecessary to calculate the absolute path of one file in different places. The shortcoming you've mentioned was the final straw.

The '#' character in the argument to run_command() is from now on always replaced by the absolute path of the file. I hope this won't break too much config.h's...

wow, I'm pretty amazed with this small and usefule app, espcially thumbnail mode I love it, but it will be better if we can have some information about our picture like name ? or even better with filetype, size, date ...

Thanks man, I do really use dwm in no bar mode so I don't see it. press Alt+B and it's there
But I think it's still useful if sxiv draws some information out on the view, in case I use fullscreen mode, I don't have to pop out to see the info

The author wants to keep it as simple as possible (as close to the unix philosophy), so he doesn't want to implement this. If this approach isn't what you want you can always use e.g. feh, which is a very nice image viewer as well!

Probably you can write a script for that and bind it to a key in config.h (?)
