PhotoQt 1.1 is released, Install in Linux Ubuntu and Mint Using PPA

PhotoQt is a fast, stylish Qt image viewer for Linux and Windows, which uses GraphicsMagick under the hood, meaning that it supports 80+ file types. The application features basic image manipulation (flip, rotate, zoom) and file management (rename, delete, move, copy), customizable keyboard and mouse shortcuts, thumbnail cache, can display EXIF information, image slideshow and more.


Changes in PhotoQt 1.1:

• PhotoQt is now based on Qt5;
• Phonon was replaced by QMultimedia;
• Rotations/Flipping is now stored per session (nothing is saved permanently in any files);
• Filter images in current directory by filename/extension;
• Images ca now be scaled (permanent change);
• Fade-in starts at the top of the screen;
• New Quick Settings widget (fade-in widget on the right);
• Fake Transparency (background) is now supported for any number of screens;
• fix: restore from system tray preserves fullscreen;
• fix: context menu converted to 'normal' shortcut;
• fix: possible to select background image;
• fix: saving settings no longer corrupts session wide list of known file formats.
