I'm looking for a  #Linux image viewer that maintains the zoom level and region while skipping through a glob of images with the arrow or PgUp/PgDown keys.

I have tried (on  #NixOS):

❌ #ristretto
❌ #gthumb
❌ #viewnior
❌ #geeqie
❌ #qview (broken)
🫤 #sxiv (works in slideshow mode, resest zoom when skipping manually 🙄)
✅ #gwenview (+changed settings&keybindings)
✅ #feh --keep-zoom-vp works

I didn't notice up until now that sxiv's github page was archived a little more then a year ago. I don't know if I would have ever notice it if I had not seen other projects using nsxiv the actively maintained fork of it. But hey I guees better latter then never.
I didn't noticed any major difference between the two, not that I could name any new feature I like to see, it's does what an image viewer should, plus it's minimalistic.

#sxiv #nsxiv

And the award for the most ugliest application icon goes to 🥁.......

#sxiv 😂👎

If you fancy #sxiv, there is more actively maintained fork, with some new features and bug fixes called #nsxiv.
