Hey, @lectrode! Thanks for the catch, I've missed it. While I suppose that should work on clean chroot builds, it still prefers qt5 over qt6 if it's installed, at least that's behavior I experience on my machines. I think the patch is needed until upstream explicitly makes qt6 over qt5. Latest commits doesn't do any of this. If @xiota is willing to add something alike my patch to force qt6 then current package can be made obsolete, I agree.

qimgv-git has a new package maintainer and was updated to support qt6. doesn't look like the source code needs a custom patch anymore.

I gave oculante a try. It's extremely bare-bones in the viewing/management/customization department. I'm not really sure what it's trying to be... GIMP light for scientific use maybe? When viewing images, it can't automatically stretch them to occupy the width or height of the window, can't display webms, can't assign scripts to keystrokes etc etc. Unfortunately, qimgv is the only game in town right now. It's actually scary how far ahead it is of all other image viewers.

@Gigas002 thanks so much. I'll give it a try. But I always come back to qimgv because it gets navigation and customization right. I think the author is in Ukraine and probably mobilized :( Hope someone picks up qimgv and forks it.

Hey, @Batou! Thank you for your kind words!
Indeed, the application is not developed very often lately. Without taking in account a patch I created for qt6 migration, I tried implementing/fixing some other stuff in my own branch, but since I lack knowledge of both cpp and qt - even while I could build it with fixes it doesn't work, unfortunately.
Anyway, in case you're looking for alternatives, I can recommend oculante for you. Yes, it doesn't handle as much formats, as qimgv does, but it is still a pretty good image viewer, I've been using it as my main application for several months now.

THANK YOU so much @Gigas002 for this fork. This is my fav image viewer and it was so unreliable in the past few months. Now I'm enjoying it again. Nothing else even comes close to qimgv (and I've used every image viewer in AUR over the past decade).
Thanks again! <3.

KDE_SUPPORT=ON is broken with KF6::WindowSystem for now, requires some code changes, so disabled it. I'm thinking about renaming package to just qimgv-qt6-git and making KDE_SUPPORT optional from now on.

Fails to compile for me
CMake Error at qimgv/CMakeLists.txt:31 (qt5_add_translation):
Unknown CMake command "qt5_add_translation".

@ignilux thanks for advices! Added these packages as optional dependencies

A few things that I noticed while configuring qimgv:
kimageformats is no longer in the repositories. The new package is kimageformats5, found in Extra (kimageformats5).
A few file formats still didn't work even after installing kimageformats5, namely TIFF. Installing qt5-imageformats (in addition to qt6-imageformats) fixed this.

Finally fixed the plasma6 stuff and proposed the pr upstream: https://github.com/easymodo/qimgv/pull/556 Hope it'll be merged. For the time being, using the patch. Improved the build process for a bit, by adding
ccacheto speed up re-compile times. After (if) pr's merged, I think this package will become obsolete, and we'll be able to move toqimgv-gitAlso, an interesting thing I noticed while fixing the kde blur is that it works with other compositors too (hyprland in my case), I guess you just have to have the kde libs installed on your system also?
