Thanks! I've updated the description on this page to explicitly state it doesn't show animated gifs - seems like useful information for prospective downloaders. And it also seems like a reasonable feature to add, as I've found myself wanting it too on occasion.
I don't see problems adding the escape key to exit, so next time I do an update, I'll include this. (Unless there's some UX faux pas I'm overlooking as I write this, but I don't believe so.)
Cool, I like that it can still display .gif's in folders, but I have gif's default to my web browser. Ideally it would play it, but it would be handy if it could launch the default viewer from your app, ie double click, enter or key combo.
.tga is supported as-is. Is there a particular .tga file it fails to open?
.webp is the unsupported format I'd most like to add, as that seems to be popular enough nowadays, and it's annoying that it needs to open in a web browser for me. It just seems like a bit of a pain to integrate so I've not jumped on that yet.
I had a quick look into how much work adding animated gifs would be, and it seems very little - almost surprisingly so. I should get that done for the next version, which I'd like to tick-off soon as there's a few other little features/bug-fixes I've done recently.
Regarding opening the default viewer - I'm less keen. I mainly made this to replace Windows' image viewer as the default, rather than supplement it. And for this to be lightweight so an image opens fast and without fuss with a double-click.
I do find I occasionally want to edit an image I have opened (beyond rotating/flipping/etc). And in that case, I'd like to open the image in another program, but not the default program associated with the file format. And presumably I'd like this to work for images pasted from the clipboard, or files that have been rotated/flipped but not saved, which may involve saving to temporary files etc. Altogether, there's just a few necessary steps there that take the feature beyond trivial, towards "the details need some thought."
I can do, and admit it'd make this page a little more appealing. But it is a program that literally just shows images, without any user-interface things on-screen besides the standard Windows window. I'll probably get around to it (finding suitable example images, etc) but it's not a priority for my time.
Hello! Yes, in fact I've already added support for this; I just haven't uploaded a new build to itch.io yet. I'll get that done sometime over this weekend and report back. :-)
Hi! To be honest, I don't know; I only have Windows 10 environments available to me so cannot personally test/confirm it works on Windows 7 or 8. I have no reason to believe it wouldn't work though.

it's a good app, but .gif dont animate
Would also suggest Esc key to exit

Also .tga is another popular one worth adding.

my mistake .tga works, thanks.
Glad to hear gif animation is little work :)
I agree with you about .webp!
Can you provide more screenshots?
I can do, and admit it'd make this page a little more appealing. But it is a program that literally just shows images, without any user-interface things on-screen besides the standard Windows window. I'll probably get around to it (finding suitable example images, etc) but it's not a priority for my time.
any chance that “Quite OK Image Format” images will be supported? if not, is the source available somewhere so that I can just add it in myself?
Hello! Yes, in fact I've already added support for this; I just haven't uploaded a new build to itch.io yet. I'll get that done sometime over this weekend and report back. :-)
Reporting back: the latest version supports the QOI image format.
My favorite img viewer. Does this works on Windows 7?
Hi! To be honest, I don't know; I only have Windows 10 environments available to me so cannot personally test/confirm it works on Windows 7 or 8. I have no reason to believe it wouldn't work though.
I will try it later and report here.
