Some screenshots would have been nice -- I assume this looks like Picasa did, but it'd be nice to be able to see it.
That said, I've been enjoying this trend of reviving software killed before its time! Someone recently did the same for Apple Aperture (RIP):

oof it has nothing to do with Picasa which was a library manager and looked like this https://static.filehorse.com/screenshots/photo-and-design/pi...

This is just a vibe coded image viewer, nothing else https://i.imgur.com/uBxUj8d.jpeg

Frankly I just want IrfanView ported. This is 80% wasted screen space.

I'm pretty sure you can close the editor on the left and the settings on the right.
But Irfanview for Linux would be pretty sweet!

You can close both menus

What are you complaining about, we have XV, which is about as humanly close to perfection as you can get in application design.

Ah, that's sad. I miss the speed and intuitive UI/UX of the old Picasa. No image viewer has ever been able to handle massive photo libraries as well for me :(

So it's just GPT's vague memories of Picasa? Vibe coders have no shame.

FWIW, the Picasa photo viewer was so nice that I installed an old version of Picasa on Linux via WINE just for the image viewer. It'll be great to have a native version.

Looks much more different than a Picasa rebuild.

Unfortunate pronunciation...
