The gnome image viewer is Wayland native

Sounds interesting, but the requirements say it needs gnome-desktop. I’m using Hyprland on NixOS, so it doesn’t sound like this will work for my setup unfortunately. Thank you for the suggestion. Hopefully this helps others.

Currently, gnome has moved away from eye of Gnome to Image Viewer/Loupe. The website doesn’t have the dependencies though I don’t think you should need the gnome-desktop package. Perhaps you can look into it. Just be aware that the app is pretty barebones for now.

Edit - Alternatively, you could look into gwenview which is normally shipped in kde. That will have the advantage of shipping with a lot more editing options and since it is a more mature(I think is the right word) project, I expect it to have better support for esoteric file formats.

I tried imv and hated it. I just use feh (through XWayland) or mpv now.

mpv as an image viewer? Is that… possible?

Try swayimg

I like how it supports animated webp and gift files right out of the box. Would be perfect if you could open images from the file manager and navigate, but it doesn’t look like that’s in the works.

I think the --all option is this mode.

@guttermonk
I have a custom nuke opener file for nnn that do that's that. Every time I open an image, it uses swayimg -r (recursively).
I gues you can do some like that with xdg-open

I recently coded up a dirt simple image viewer. Like it is stupidly simple.

You can give it a go github.com/Dr-42/imeye

I don’t know how it compares to nsxiv, but imv supports Wayland.

Can you open animated gifs in imv? I just get a black screen, but the home page says animated gifs are supported.

progandy ,

At least on xorg the gifs I had worked.

Judging purely on the dependencies I see in pacman, nsxiv depends on imlib2, which pulls in a lot of libraries, while imv links to a subset of those libraries directly.
