    🏞 A lightweight, versatile image viewer

  • DISCLAIMER: I am not the developer, nor am in any way involved with ImageGlass.

    Wow, this thread is like 35 minutes old and people are already jumping to conclusions, bashing the developer, bringing out the torches to burn them at stake.

    Really disappointed seeing this on HN...

    Perhaps the title itself is insinuating, and people are not patient enough to dig any deeper. Perhaps someone can add [quickly reverted] or something to the title?

    That being said, I really wonder why people 100% believe other people act in bad faith. Looking into that Github issue (https://github.com/d2phap/ImageGlass/issues/1252 ), it feels more like the dev was not aware of the issues with the bad actor in question, and was also very quick to revert the issue and pull the affected release from Github. This is the best someone can do under this situation, and I'm sure they must have felt quite stressful... Maybe they are, even now, feeling the stress if they stumble upon this thread.

    If the dev reads this: You did a great job fixing the issue, congrats!

    Toxicity like this kills many projects and dreams, by the way.

  • The new Photos app is really bad. there is no option to open them unless I import them into OneDrive. Whether they are from an external drive or an internal drive. Pathetic Microsoft. I have to use file explorer to open my photos and videos. we don't even have a simple Gallary app in windows 11.
