Quick Start

cargo run --example generate_test_images
cargo run --release -- example.sldshow

Press ? in-app for the full keyboard shortcut reference.

Configuration

TOML files with .sldshow extension. Lookup: CLI arg → ~/.sldshow → defaults.

Configuration is loaded once at startup. There is no hot-reload or file watching — to apply changes to the .sldshow file, restart the application. Runtime adjustments made through the Settings panel take effect immediately but are not saved back to disk.

See example.sldshow for all options — window, viewer (playback mode, fit mode, texture limits, scan subfolders, …), transition, and style (background, font, transparency).

Supported Formats

PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, WebP, ICO, TGA, HDR, PNM, DDS, QOI, AVIF, OpenEXR

Development

License

MIT — Based on the original sldshow by ugai. Transitions adapted from GL Transitions (MIT).
