A very basic multi-image viewer intended for displaying art references. Made with Love2D.
A rewrite of my Defold Multiviewer in Love2D.

- No native file dialogs (which only worked on Windows and MacOS anyway).
We can use makelove to build a packaged image.
Simply install makelove using pip3 install makelove and run makelove in the root directory of this project.
- No CPU cost at rest
- The window is only redrawn when you interact with it, so the CPU load should be pretty much zero when the program is just sitting there.
- Can accept a command-line argument to open a project file on startup.
- Therefore you can associate the ".multiview" file type with the executable and then double-click on those files to open them.
- Zoom to the mouse cursor position.
- Ctrl-Middle-Mouse drag to zoom precisely.
- Show asterisk in window title when project has unsaved changes.
- Panning or zooming the camera counts as a change and is saved in file.
- Drag and drop images or folders-of-images onto the window to add them.
- Delete -- Removes hovered image.
- Ctrl-S -- Save project
- Saves the project file opened at startup, OR saves as "_project.multiview" in the executable's folder (will overwrite).
- Left-Click-Drag -- Move image
- Right-Click OR Mouse-Button-4 & Drag -- Scale image
- Middle-Click-Drag -- Pan Viewport
- Ctrl-Middle-Click-Drag -- Zoom viewport.
- Mouse Wheel -- Zoom Viewport
- Page Up -- Move image under cursor up in draw order
- Hold Ctrl to move all the way to the top.
- Page Down -- Move image under cursor down in draw order
- Hold Ctrl to move all the way to the bottom.
- Alt-Enter -- Toggle borderless window mode.
- Opening a .multiview file just adds in the saved images to your viewport, it won't remove any images you've already loaded.
- Saving a project will record all the images you have open.
