# SagoImageBrowser A Qt6-based image browser application for viewing and managing image collections. ## Features - Browse images in a directory tree with file system navigation - Multi-threaded, cached thumbnail generation for a responsive UI - Single image view mode with keyboard-driven zoom, pan, fit and navigation - Fullscreen viewing - EXIF/IPTC metadata panel (camera, exposure, ISO, focal length, dimensions, …) - Geo location with a clickable OpenStreetMap link when an image is geotagged - Edit image captions (written to the IPTC Caption-Abstract tag) - Lossless 90° rotation (updates the EXIF orientation tag, pixel data untouched) - Move images to trash and delete files - Right-click context menus (including copying file paths), also in fullscreen - Configurable keyboard shortcuts - Preferences for background color, thumbnail cache size, dock locking and layout - Path entry field with autocomplete - Translations (Danish included) - Supports every image format provided by the installed Qt image plugins ## Requirements - C++17 or later - CMake 3.21+ - Qt6 (Widgets and LinguistTools components) - Git and a network connection — Exiv2 (v0.28.8) is fetched and statically linked at configure time via CMake `FetchContent` ## Building ### Prerequisites Install Qt6 development files: ```bash # On Ubuntu/Debian sudo apt-get install qt6-base-dev qt6-tools-dev # On macOS with Homebrew brew install qt6 ``` ### Build Steps ```bash cd SagoImageBrowser cmake -B build cmake --build build ``` The compiled executable will be at `./build/SagoImageBrowser`. ### Installing ```bash cmake --install build ``` This installs the executable, a `.desktop` entry and the application icon. ## Running ```bash ./build/SagoImageBrowser [path] ``` An optional directory or image path can be passed on the command line. ## Tests A small test for the EXIF reader is built alongside the application: ```bash ./build/test_exifreader ``` ## Project Structure ``` src/ ├── main.cpp # Application entry point ├── mainwindow.h/cpp # Main application window ├── imagemodel.h/cpp # Image list/grid data model ├── fsdirmodel.h/cpp # Directory tree model ├── imageviewwidget.h/cpp # Single-image display widget (zoom/pan) ├── thumbnailworker.h/cpp # Background thumbnail generation ├── thumbnailcache.h/cpp # Thumbnail caching ├── thumbnaildelegate.h/cpp # Thumbnail rendering in the view ├── exifreader.h/cpp # EXIF/IPTC reading, caption writing, rotation ├── preferencesdialog.h/cpp # Preferences dialog ├── shortcutmanager.h/cpp # Configurable keyboard shortcuts └── pathcompletermodel.h/cpp # Autocomplete for the path field test/ # Unit tests translations/ # Qt translation files (.ts) extra/ # Desktop entry and icons CMakeLists.txt # Build configuration ``` ## License GPL 3.0 or later, see `LICENSE` file for details.
