@eri @4censord that's kind of an extremely rude way of putting it, but yeah, that i know of, the software you want doesn't currently exist in a form that handles modern formats and massive libraries
you asked for a solution, to the whole world, i gave the one i know
yes, it does come with a pile of other features that are necessary for an editing workflow
but even then, i put all of my photos in there, not just the ones that need to be edited
it is how i browse and show off to folks locally as, quite honestly, the other ways of doing it don't work for me
i'm sorry i missed details in your requirements, and honestly, if you do plan on making something better, let me know when you do
i'd love to be able to shove my library on a flash drive and have a decent viewer for it :3
