qimgv VS mpv

about this time, i am a little more than intrigued and a bit confused. i use my image viewing program qimgv (github) by typing qimvg 87956_60.png and was shown a photograph of a man seemingly turning his head to look at me.

qimgv - Image viewer. Fast, easy to use. Optional video support. Very powerful, qt app, best for me.

I use qimgv, It's mostly frameless (It only has a window bar), supports going left and right through images, even sorted by date and even on a directory with 80k+ files in it. It also has some very useful features in the right-click menu and also has a folder view and is highly customizable.

I don't know exactly what you mean by "nothing", but JPEG XL is already supported for almost all image viewers on Linux installing the libjxl plugin system wide, and on Windows good image viewers like XnView, IrfanView e my personal favorite qimgv, and all most used browsers already supports jpeg xl, however is not enable by default and you need to enable it in the hide settings, but I agree that you probably will not want to use jxl if you are sharing images to other people all the time on different platforms and can't bother to decode before doing, or are using it on other devices that don't use a desktop OS, that is way I only recommend it to people that like "bleeding edge" stuff, my first recommendation is still use something like pingo if the original format is a must.

My personal favorite is qimgv. It even supports videos with an additional download, which is awesome for me.

qimgv can also save AVIF

7zip, Rufus, BleachBit, Bulk Crap Uninstaller, SpeedCrunch, ShareX, Keypirinha, Everything, OBS, qimgv and of course Nextcloud are all the essential free/open source software I need.

qimgv (Qt) - https://github.com/easymodo/qimgv

https://mpv.io/ has yt-dlp support, if yt-dlp is installed you just need to throw the URL at it and it plays the video (without download).

See https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/9053

I apologise for not following procedure. I am in the middle of building mpv 0.37 from source. Irrespective of the outcome I will document what I had to do in addition to the instructions on mpv.io and if the problem perststs, where it happens and where not with kernel version, mpv version taken from the screen, and the terminal output.

Use MPV. Partticularily shinchiro's builds. Extract the folder where you want its installation directory to be, if you decide to install it. Otherwise, just drag and drop files on top of its window or executable.

Author of ripgrep here.

Like automatic encoding detection and transparently searching UTF-16?

Or simple ways for composing character classes, e.g., `[\pL&&\p{Greek}]` for all codepoints in the Greek script that are letters. Another favorite of mine is `\P{ascii}`, which will search for any codepoint that isn't in the ASCII subset.

Or more sophisticated filtering features that let you automatically respect things like gitignore rules.

Those are all things that ripgrep does that grep does not. So I do not favor this explanation personally.

ripgrep has just about all of the functionality that GNU grep does. I would say the two biggest missing pieces at this point are:

* POSIX locale support. (But this might be a feature[1].)

* Support for "basic" regexes or some equivalent that flips the escaping rules around. i.e., You need to write `\+` to match 1 or more things, where as `+` will just match `+ literally.

Otherwise, ripgrep has unfortunately grown just about as many flags as GNU grep.
