swappy VS mpv-image-viewer

I think swappy works great as a screenshot annotation tool.

It will save the file in save_dir (see config section)

Use any wayland compatible screenshot tool and pipe it into Swappy

I combine grimshot + swappy to get something similar to Flameshot. Not as good, but it has the advantage of... actually working on Sway.

I personally use grim + slurp + swappy, and i love it! :)

If you want to edit the screenshot, pipe it through swappy

For those sort of simple jobs, you might find that swappy is enough (and much faster to start and simpler to use).

My fav is swappy.

Sounds like Swappy. https://github.com/jtheoof/swappy

How would I use MPV as an image viewer, I have tried this link, but it doesn't seem to work as soon as I open an image file, it plays for like 2 seconds that MPV "exits" the file, possibly I would have to toggle inf loop on all image files, but I don't know how I would do this

Mpv can do most of the things you want. I use it as image viewer and comic reader it's a very powerful and customizable software. The only issue I got with it as image viewer is that the scrolling is not smooth. Here's a GitHub page to start using mpv as image viewer : https://github.com/occivink/mpv-image-viewer

Try mpv https://github.com/occivink/mpv-image-viewer

https://github.com/occivink/mpv-image-viewer https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/7983

Copy https://git.sr.ht/~guidocella/mpv-image-config/tree/master/item/scripts/image-keybindings.lua#L60 or https://github.com/occivink/mpv-image-viewer/blob/master/scripts/image-positioning.lua to a script in the scripts directory within mpv's configuration directory, then use it by binding script-binding drag-to-pan.

For image viewing I either use eye-of-gnome or, since a few weeks, mpv with the following extensions: https://github.com/occivink/mpv-image-viewer

mpv with the gallery view plugin makes for a great video/image previewer
