I made this (FurView) to be a small program that displays images in a slideshow-like fashion when the executable is placed in a folder of images and run
Note: Linux only, requires shell and ImageMagick to work fully, might work on windows if you compile it yourself but will be lacking image conversion features
Quick-Start: Download the Linux executable from the gitlab release using the try project button, place the downloaded executable in a folder full of images run the program and wait a bit for it to make png copies of all non-png images, it will then show every image in that folder in a slideshow, click on the window for a settings menuwu
I just made this project as a fun can-I-do-this type thing, turns out I can! It took a bit for me to figure out file saving (thanks stack overflow!) but I got it working in the end.

Finished the menu and made the software save a file .config/FurView.txt to keep your choice of time between furries saved between sessions and restarts.
getting file loading was fairly simple as I have experience from M.I.S.E. getting saving was a bit more difficult but stack overflow saved the day!

Images now crop to fit the window nicely, I made the window force itself into a perfect square as you probably want widgets to be square and also it makes the image cropping easier 
also picture credit goes to it’s creator, I just saved a duckduckgo search for “protogen” as a complete page for testing and kept only the images

I’ve now implemented an std::duration to make sure each image stays on screen for ~two seconds if it is less than two seconds it redraws the frame buffer until it is

just getting started now! a problem with macroquad is that it cannot load .jpg files so when the program starts up it runs a shell command that uses ImageMagick’s mogrify command to convert every .jpg file to a .png file in the exec’s dir then starts looping through the images
