Feature Request: Keep the Info (EXIF) Panel Open While Browsing Images
Jul 15

First of all, thank you for developing Pixea. It's become my favorite image viewer on macOS because of its speed and clean interface.I have one feature request regarding the **Info/EXIF panel**.When I open the Info panel to view EXIF metadata, it automatically closes every time I switch to another photo. Since I often browse a series of images while comparing their metadata, I have to click the Info button repeatedly, which becomes quite inconvenient.It would be great if Pixea could **remember the Info panel's open/closed state** while browsing images. For example, if the Info panel is open, it should remain open when moving to the next or previous image until the user manually closes it.Optionally, this could also be a preference such as **"Keep Info panel open while browsing images"** or **"Remember Info panel state."**I believe this would greatly improve the workflow for photographers and users who frequently inspect EXIF metadata.Thank you for considering this suggestion, and thanks again for creating such an excellent application.

So far, mostly good

In a graphics viewer, I like a minimal interface with no distractions. I also prefer to see my images in their actual size, with the exception of images that are of a higher resolution than my display, in which case they should be resized to fit automatically.Pixea gets closer to this than most. The interface is minimal indeed with borderless windows, but where it fails for me is primarily the on-screen controls that pop up whenever my move my mouse. It's unnecessary if you know the keyboard commands already and there should be an option to not have that appear.I'm also not a fan of havng the window "close/minimize/zoom" buttons overlaid on my images when displayed. I know they hide "eventually", but I would actually rather just have a border on top than have those buttons overlaid onto my photos.The last gripe I have is with the fitting of my images to the window. Generally speaking, I want to see them in their actual size, with over-sized ones reduced to fit. Pixea doesn't do this. If you have it set to "Actual Size", then images that exceed my display dimensions are not completely visible.Other than this, Pixea is great. The controls are intuitive and other than my caveats above, is generally unobtrusive. Rendering can be a bit laggy compared to another viewer I've long used when panning through a folder of images, but iits rendering quality seems pretty good otherwise.

As far as any available photo “viewer” on a Mac, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a windows style setup and something that isn’t annoying as heck. The only thing I’ve found so far is that when I open a photo, it seems to open each photo in its own window, so that I have multiple photos open, even when selecting “open in the same window for all folders”. Other than that, so far, this is near perfect.

Perfect for video calls

I use Pixea to present video and photo files in virtual meetings. Since it’s one app using one window, Google Meet has no problem sharing window and displaying the files. Much better than selecting new windows to share.However, one ridiculous shortcoming is that you cannot play through a video frame-by-frame. You can only skip ahead by 10 seconds or scrub the playhead bar. This makes it impossible to examine videos in detail and give feedback to others during my meetings. If they could just add this one essential feature, the app would be perfect. I even tried emailing the developer about it and got no response.
