🌹 roseate

_{A fast as fuck, memory efficient and simple but fancy image viewer built with Rust that's cross-platform. VERY WIP!}

_{(image from a WIP development build, this is NOT the final product)}

Caution

This project is HEAVILY a work in progress, hence it may crash or harm your system. Github issues are very welcome. 🤝

🛠️ Installation

As Roseate is in heavy development I won't offer packages and binaries yet so you'll need to compile the application from source.

🏗 Build from source

Prerequisites:

• Rust and Cargo (Rust 1.80.0+ is required!).

• Linux dependecies for eframe:

  • libxcb
  • libxkbcommon
  • openssl

1. Clone the repo.

git clone https://github.com/cloudy-org/roseate
cd roseate

2. Pull the cirrus tool kit submodule.

git submodule update --init --recursive

⚙️ For Development

At this stage, for development, you would just run cargo run. If you would like to install it to your system continue ahead to the next section.

4. Run dev binary.

cargo run

To run Roseate in development with an image, append -- and pass an image path after like so:

cargo run -- ./anime_girl.png

To run with verbose debugging, call cargo run with the RUST_LOG=DEBUG environment variable:

RUST_LOG=DEBUG cargo run -- ./anime_girl.png

... (truncated for the sanity of this readme)

🎀 Install into your system.

Installing it to your system I advise you use GNU Make or else copy the commands from the "Makefile" (you will need to install Make if you haven't already).

4. Build the release binary.

make

5. Install to your system.

sudo make install

6. Then the roseate binary will be available in your terminal.

roseate

Open an image by passing its path.

roseate ./anime_girls.png

You might want to also set the binary at /usr/bin/roseate as your default image viewer so double clicking on images calls it. You can look up how to perform that for your desktop environment or OS.
