🌹 Roseate
Warning
If you're looking for an installation guide, there isn't one at the moment because Roseate is still work in progress and has not released yet.
Roseate is a free and open-source, GPU accelerated, cross-platform and simplistic image viewer that's highly configurable and fast.
Being a cloudy-org application, it naturally follows the Cloudy Philosophy.
It's designed to be lightweight, privacy-respecting and stupidly fast to launch and display images.
Background
Roseate has been a passion project for me to learn the 🦀 Rust programming language, while also laying the groundwork for shared infrastructure across cloudy-org (like the cirrus tool-kit). Roseate actually begun as a tauri web app but I wasn't happy with the memory usage and performance. Hence I switched to Egui which currently runs natively via OpenGL, and ever since it's been pretty performant. Along the way, the switch has also been a great learning experience.
How to use?
Info
At the moment this wiki assumes you're on Linux, support for other platforms (Windows & MacOS) is work in progress and half-baked. If you're on these platforms and you're happy to help, we'll be very grateful if you can compile the image viewer and report your issues to us. Additionally edits to this wiki would be great.
Welcome to this quick guide on how to use the Roseate image viewer. It's simple!
Launching the image viewer
Roseate can be launched in 3 primary ways, if setup correctly:
1) Your terminal, by executing the binary.
roseate
2) Through your application launcher (or start menu).
3) Or by normally opening an image.
Opening an image
You can open an image in 2 primary ways:
1) Clicking on the Open Image button or the 🌹 rose, then selecting an image.
2) Opening an image in your file explorer (as hinted previously).
3) Or by dragging and dropping into the viewer.
Failure
Drag and dropping files currently doesn't work on Linux with Wayland yet.
