Fast and clean image viewer that handles virtually any file you throw at it: JPEGs, RAW, HEIC, FITS, video and audio all in one app without switching tools. The filmstrip with prefetched thumbnails makes browsing large libraries genuinely fast. Particularly appreciated the archive browsing that opens CBZ/CBR like normal folders.
