Loupe is the New Image Viewer App for GNOME
======
GNOME's new image viewer? Looks nice!
![loupe image viewer][1]
The folks over at GNOME have been busy!
Recently, you might have heard that they are [considering][2] bringing back the terminal app to replace the new console, then there's the [new camera app][3] set to replace Cheese in the near future.
You might have missed something else we did not cover among those core GNOME app changes.
**A new image viewer app for GNOME called 'Loupe'**. It has been accepted into GNOME's [Incubator Group][4].
Allow me to take you through this.
> 💡 The 'Incubator' group contains projects set to be part of GNOME Core and GNOME Development tools, signifying that **this might someday make it into a GNOME release**.
### 🆕 Loupe: What is it?
![a screenshot of loupe image viewer][5]
So, as I was saying, this is a new image viewer app for GNOME, **written in the memory-safe Rust programming language,** and offers some cool features.
Take, for instance, the on-screen buttons to switch through various photos, zoom in/out, go into full-screen mode, and more.
Then there's the metadata viewer that has been integrated nicely into the interface, showing data such as the **location, size, resolution, date of creation,** etc.

That's not all; Loupe also supports keyboard and trackpad shortcuts! See for yourself.

These keyboard/trackpad shortcuts and gestures should be convenient for laptop users.
This is a nice touch 🤗
Also, how can I forget about the the **copy to clipboard**, **move to trash** and **print image** options that can be accessed from the ribbon-menu and the header, respectively?
Here's that in action:

It's neat, isn't it?
I must say, Loupe has a nifty set of features I see myself using daily while going through my photos.
It aims to replace the existing [Eye of GNOME][8] (eog) Image Viewer, maybe with the release of GNOME 45, barring any issues, of course.
### 📥 Get Loupe
You can grab Loupe from the [Flathub store][9], and also explore its source code on [GitLab][10].

_💬 What do you think? Will Loupe be a good choice as the default image viewer on GNOME for you?_
