PhotoQt is an image viewer that looks different and because of its unique interface, it might be a little odd to use at first. However, its speed and flexibility allows it to adapt perfectly to each individual workflow.
The main interface consists of nothing but the viewed image, with a few elements available as fade-in/slide-in. If you hover your mouse pointer on the left side of your image a Metadata menu will fade-in on your image. It will display your Filename, Filesize, Image #/#, and Dimensions.
If you hover your mouse pointer on the right side of your image a Main Menu will fade-in on your image. It will display a long list of commands and featuresand tt the botton it provides a link to the online manual. You can learn to use the shortcuts from the Shortcuts section online.
If you hover your mouse pointer on the bottom of your image a list of Thumbnails will slide-in on your image. They will display small images or thumbnails of the pictures in your current folder.
When you first access your Settings, you'll be greeted with a small Shortcuts dialog box to help your navigate through the Settings tabs and sections. You have the option to place a check in the Don't show again checkbox to prevent the small dialog box from appearing everytime your access your Settings.
As you can see through each tab within the Settings that PhotoQt is highly customizable. You can configure it to meet your needs.
You can get online information about the Settings of PhotoQt under the Look and Feel section on the Settings section of the online manual.
PhotoQt is a very nice looking image viewer and it supports .gif, animated .gif, and .webp file formats.
I hope this helped you understand what PhotoQt looks like and a glimpse into how to use it on your system.
