This software is a simple digital image browser that uses the fltk toolkit. Its design is minimalistic, making it easy to use for browsing through images.
The epeg library by The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) is used to generate JPEG thumbnails quickly. However, flimsel falls back on fltk native methods for other image formats. This means that it efficiently processes all types of image formats.
One of the most impressive features of flimsel is its ability to output keyboard hotkeys and file names of selected images to standard output. In addition, images whose filenames are written to stdin will be reloaded into the application.
The flimsel.sh script found in the examples directory offers basic image manipulations on selected images. The quick and simple controls involve Ctrl+L to rotate the selected images 90 degrees left, Ctrl+R to rotate 90 degrees right, Ctrl+D to move selected images to the /tmp/flimsel_deleted directory, Ctrl+G to open selected images in gimp, and Ctrl+V to open selected images in feh.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a minimalist digital image browser that efficiently handles all image formats, flimsel should be your go-to software. Its ability to output keyboard hotkeys and work with standard input and output makes it the perfect choice for inclusion in digital image processing scripts.
