Loved Irfanview, switched to ImageGlass for aesthetics (hated the performance), switched back to Irfanview, hated how ancient it felt.
Electro aims to do what an image viewer should do best - show images. There aren't any UI elements when an image is first loaded - hence the hidden terminal (pack a lot of functionality without worrying about visual clutter).
I have been carefully thinking about the direction I want to take with UI elements. The goal was to build the fastest & most efficient image viewer. Will I achieve this through clickable UI elements? Through keybinds only? Through terminal? Only time and testing will tell.
The project is fresh out of the oven and ready to be moulded into whatever the community wants it to be. The two mantras Electro will always stand by are Performance & Efficiency.
Thanks for the thread - loved reading everyone's thoughts.
P.S JPEGView was by far my favourite but again, too ancient. I want something truly fresh and that was the goal of this project
