    Some screenshots would have been nice -- I assume this looks like Picasa did, but it'd be nice to be able to see it.

    That said, I've been enjoying this trend of reviving software killed before its time! Someone recently did the same for Apple Aperture (RIP):

    Looks much more different than a Picasa rebuild.

    Right? Benefit of the doubt for non-native English speaker.

    If you develop a GUI application, the first thing you have to show is a screenshot.

    I guess slop machines can't do that, or are prevented by auto mode.

    oof it has nothing to do with Picasa which was a library manager and looked like this https://static.filehorse.com/screenshots/photo-and-design/pi...

    This is just a vibe coded image viewer, nothing else https://i.imgur.com/uBxUj8d.jpeg

    So it's just GPT's vague memories of Picasa? Vibe coders have no shame.

    FWIW, the Picasa photo viewer was so nice that I installed an old version of Picasa on Linux via WINE just for the image viewer. It'll be great to have a native version.

    Ah, that's sad. I miss the speed and intuitive UI/UX of the old Picasa. No image viewer has ever been able to handle massive photo libraries as well for me :(

    I've been using it ever since on my windows machines because I've never found anything even coming close to it. I don't need anything feature rich with a 5 second startup time. I need something that's 500ms away.

    Frankly I just want IrfanView ported. This is 80% wasted screen space.

    You can close both menus

    I'm pretty sure you can close the editor on the left and the settings on the right.

    But Irfanview for Linux would be pretty sweet!

    What are you complaining about, we have XV, which is about as humanly close to perfection as you can get in application design.
