qimgv is a Qt5 image viewer. It’s fast, configurable, and easy to use. It offers video support via libmpv.
The idea of qimgv is to have a uncluttered, simple and easy to use user interface (UI). You can see UI elements only when you need them.
There is a pull-down panel with thumbnails, as well as folder view (accessible by pressing Return).
You can also bring up a context menu by right-clicking an image.
