Hey everyone!

I'm excited to share a project I've been working on called Image Maniac. It's an open-source image viewer designed with game developers and other creative professionals in mind. With a wide range of features and cross-platform compatibility, it aims to make your image viewing experience seamless and efficient.

Here's what makes Image Maniac stand out:

  1. Infinite canvas: Drag and drop as many images as you like onto the main window, and view them all in a single, unified workspace.
  2. Quick RGBA channel switching: Easily switch between RGBA channels using the 1-4 number keys. This feature is especially useful for game developers who work with textures and materials.
  3. Broad format support: Image Maniac supports all major image formats, including PNG, JPG, BMP, DDS, TGA, KTX2, and HDR.
  4. Cross-platform compatibility: Whether you're using macOS, Linux, or Windows, Image Maniac has you covered!
  5. Blazing fast performance: Experience lightning-fast image loading and minimal lag, even with large files and multiple images.
