Getting Started

OpenViewer is an image and sequence viewer that supports many image formats and soon video ! The goal of OpenViewer is to be a small but powerful application usable in any pipeline.

Adding a new media in OpenViewer

To add a new media and display it, it's as simple as dragging your file/folder in the OpenViewer window. You will then see your media displayed in the Display, and you can have a look at what medias are imported by opening the Media Explorer (shortcut : E). To Display any media available in the Media explorer, just click on it and it will be loaded to the Display. If no display is available, it will create one.

There is also a file explorer available to look for files (shortcut : O for selecting files and Ctrl + O for selecting a directory).

Using the command line interface

OpenViewer provides a very basic command line interface for now. You can display the help message very simply and it will give you every information you need to know about the command line interface.

./OpenViewer -h

The only flag available for now is -p and you can use it this way

./OpenViewer -p "D:/Images/image_01.jpg;D:/Renders/Render_01;D:/Render/single_image.exr"

OpenViewer will parse every path provided separated by a ;, load them into the media explorer and display the first one on the list.
