ZipPicViewWx is an in-zip-archive image viewer. It is written in C++ and runs on Linux and Windows (OSX isn't tested yet). It has only a basic feature like image listing, view with zoom-in/out (up-to 200%), and does not aim to replace your day-to-day image viewer.
ZipPicViewWx has been tested on Windows 10 and Arch Linux.
The tested method is to use UNIX toolchain. ZipPicViewWx use CMake for build system.
- Checkout the code. For this guide the code is checked out to
~/ZipPicViewWx - Create a new build directory. For this guide the build directory is
~/ZipPicViewWx-build. - Change directory into the build directory. And then run
$ cmake ~/ZipPicViewWx. - Then run
$ make. The program is now built.
On Windows, MSYS2 is the preferred method. Install MSYS2 and necessary toolchain, then follow the same instruction as the UNIX toolchain. The Generator has to be specified in step 3, by running $ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles ~/ZipPicViewWx".
After the program is built, cpack (which is part of CMAKE distribution) can be used to created installer. ZIP and WIX generators have been tested and used. To create installer package with cpack, run the command $ cpack -G WIX or $ cpack -G ZIP inside the build directory.
To specify the version number into the build, pass CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR and CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR variable during step 3. For example $ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DCPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR=0 -DCPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR=7 ~/ZipPicViewWx. By default the version is 0.0.0
ZipPicViewWX depends on wxWidgets and libzip. It has been compiled on GCC and Clang.
An experimental CImg libary usage has been added. This enhance the image quality in the preview panel when the scale is not 100%. As a trade-off, the performance is degraded significantly. This functionality is currently disabled by default.
To enable CImg usage, append the flag -DUSE_CIMG=yes as a cmake parameter.
