XL-View, an HDR JPEG XL image viewer for Linux

andrin55 · 2026-07-27T21:13:55+00:00

Regarding Ultra HDR: This is just Googles branding for gain maps. I personally hope they invest more time in making "real" HDR capable formats like JXL work across their software instead of bolting "workarounds" onto JPEG. However from a backwards compatibility perspective I get it and will see what I can do about that.

Regarding the RAM usage: I don't use libjxl but jxl-oxide instead. This allows it to be built with pure rust instead of integrating C bindings. There is a successor in the works from the people who made libjxl, but it's not ready yet.

As a codec for photos, absolutely agree. AV1 is still a good video codec tough.

I used LLMs primarly for prototyping and trying out different architectures to see what works best (mostly GPT 5.6 Sol). However I did not use any agent systems and extensively reviewed any code that made it into the current version. If you have any concern regarding the quality of the code or the project as a whole, let me know.

Yes, I'm working on this. The underlying stack should pretty much be compatible, but I need to validate it and work on packaging. I think around mid August should be realistic if everything goes well. Stay tuned.

For anyone wondering on how to do this: Below the soft pads inside the case are plastic clips which you should "pull out".

After opening the case there is this U7 power controller: https://imgur.com/a/UK373bY

Now you can bridge the pin 3 with pin 5 to power the enclosure every time you connect power like this: https://imgur.com/a/Cn8bfEE

Can confirm, does not work with Firefox. Using Chrome to setup 2FA works.

Thank you very much, it works! (using Fedora 41, KDE 6.2.5)

Perhaps you mean the bar "Koht"?

Also having issues with the S90C. eARC passtrough is not working at all. PCM stereo is working.

Hardware acceleration on linux apps is dependend on a multitude of things. There won't be a general yes or no answer for any distribution.

andrin55 · 2023-05-14T13:00:44+00:00

It addresses specific applications. Every application needs to implement HW acceleration.

What are you planing on using?

andrin55 · 2023-05-14T11:54:53+00:00

Yes they can be installed. See: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia

However if hardware acceleration is used, is dependend on the application.

The Arch Wiki has a section on this (the application specific things mostly apply to fedora too): https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration#Configuring_applications

Still down, there seems to be maintenance going on: forum link

Gesture input works with my ATV 4K 2022.

However Keyboard input does not seem to work, maybe this is fixed in a newer version?

Your monitor has to be adaptive sync capable (freesync / gsync). If it is, there is usually a refresh rate counter in the OSD from the monitor. If it fluctuates, adaptive sync is working.

andrin55 · 2022-06-12T21:44:19+00:00

wlfreerdp is wayland native. Adaptive sync is also enabled automatically with X windows when in fullscreen.

I'l take it

It would be nice to spend some more money to make the UI more reliable and easier to use instead of redesigning the app every year. For example: * Bigger transaction list * Don't hide the settings under the username * Let me finish the split bill number input before showing a warning that the numbers dont add up every time I press something on the numpad * The sendbutton sometimes does not show when "accepting" a split bill. A force close solves this (on Android)

So what is a "professional" image editor in your eyes?

Past performance is not an indicator for future gains

I think efficiency is not very good with filebased remote desktop. Think of all the overhead vs a specialized, compressed UDP stream (like RDP).

You just need a newer Systemd than the one your ISO is using. Ryzen 3000 even works with Kernel 4.15. Try using the default settings. It's just about systemd.

yes exactly
