sxiv

You can also try feh (https://feh.finalrewind.org/) feh is an X11 image viewer aimed mostly at console users. And sxiv (https://github.com/muennich/sxiv) Simple X Image Viewer (but this one was archived on github since Nov. 9th, 2022) and now replaced with nsxiv (https://github.com/nsxiv/nsxiv) Neo (or New or Not) Simple (or Small or Suckless) X Image Viewer.

https://github.com/muennich/sxiv Well this is going to be confusing.

I can't offer extra recommendations, but just wanted to offer full agreement. GLib is the awesome standard library I get to use everywhere thanks to gobject-introspection. From work projects in Vala, window manager¹, image viewer², video player³. It is especially useful with lua configurable projects, given the sparsity of the language itself. ¹ https://awesomewm.org/ ² https://github.com/muennich/sxiv - my user configs are lua & lgi, extended with gexiv2 also via gobject-introspection. ³ https://mpv.io/

When I edit graphviz, I usually watch my source file(s) with reflex [1] to re-generate the output image, and use an image viewer with auto-reloading support like sxiv [2]. Works really well for me! 1: https://github.com/cespare/reflex 2: https://github.com/muennich/sxiv

Also look at gphoto2 for setting up your camera, on my camera, gphoto2 can do some pretty cool things like set the date and time (much better than doing it on the camera) and even take photos. When I went more professional I switched from Shotwell to using Rapid Photo Downloader and I created some scripts around sxiv (https://github.com/muennich/sxiv) that lets me pick out which shots I want and then I run then through darktable. I haven't gotten color management yet, just not in my (college student) budget.

I think the only complicated-looking thing in C is the syntax for declaring function pointer types. If you use typedefs you end up with typedef int (*math_op)(int, int); math_op ops[] = { add, subtract }; int a = ops[0](3, 5); int b = ops[1](9, 2); ... maybe I've just used them too much, but I find them quite simple (except, as mentioned, setting up the initial typedefs which is a bit "odd"). One of my favourite uses of function pointers is for key-mappings, like in: https://github.com/muennich/sxiv/blob/master/config.def.h
