Sorry if these are stupid questions.
Does this only show these foss_photo_libraries and your local photos?
Does it support jpegXL?
I’d love a seamless zoom feature for images in the browser. I use imagus but I’d love if the popup window could zoom to be bigger than the browser window.

Not at all! Thanks for taking an interest.
I’m not sure what you mean. foss_photo_libraries is a comparison table of different apps someone else maintains, but I thought it was a useful resource. The photos in the demo are a subset of the open images dataset and a couple of other samples that I picked for demo purposes.
If you install it locally you can point it to a folder and it should use each subfolder as an album, or you can configure custom albums.
Yes actually, but I don’t have many files to test it, so I’m not sure how well it works. If you do I’d be interested to hear how it works for you. It uses FFmpeg to on-the-fly convert anything it can’t read natively.
You can zoom by using the mouse wheel or by pinching to zoom if that’s what you mean? You should be able to zoom pretty much as much as you want. If you’re in the main view where the mouse wheel scrolls photos up and down you can hold Ctrl (Cmd?) to zoom instead.

Cheers, didn’t know that something like a usable “open images dataset” existed. Awesome.
The last bit isn’t really relevant for your app, just a general rant really. It’s just that I’d like better image viewing support all around. Like in browsers there is an image and you can click on it but then a new tab opens. I have imagus but it’s not ideal and restricts the image to the smaller browser window. In the explorer I have quicklook now that opens images with space but the zoom feature is half assed too. Then many images apps have long startup times (>0.2 secs) or are bloaty. It’s just a bit annoying that it’s 2024 and PCs still can’t handle images really well.

Haha, I hear you! Some things are a lot harder than they have any right to be.
