Zgv is a Linux and FreeBSD console picture viewer with a thumbnail-based file selector utilizing svgalib technology.
One of Zgv's key features is its support for most popular formats, including options for panning and fit-to-screen viewing, slideshows, scaling, and gamma adjustment. With useful features like these and more, Zgv is a practical and reliable picture viewer.
In the latest release of Zgv, there have been several new features and bug fixes. This release includes support for SDL mouse and fixes for previously reported overflow bugs. The software now has width and height limits, with 32767x32765 being the maximum image size supported, which will prevent the program from being exploited.
Furthermore, Zgv now features numerous multiple-image GIF brokenness checks and has fixed a problem with freeing memory when a GIF fails to load. There was also a possible hang when reading GIF and corrupted non-raw PBM files, which has now been corrected. Other changes included the `fullscreen' option, which now defaults to 'on.'
Overall, Zgv proves to be a reliable picture viewer with an array of useful features and a loyal user base.
