PicView is built in C# .NET using Avalonia cross-platform XAML UI framework. All builds are compiled using NativeAOT (with trimming), resulting in a fully self-contained native executable.
Using Cysharp’s ZLinq and ZString for zero allocation and high performance, and R3 for high-performance ViewModel binding and event streams.
Magick.NET is used for its rich file support and image editing and information capabilities.
Building:
Open and run the solution in Visual Studio or Rider.
If you're not using x64 hardware, make sure to change the platform target to your CPU architecture in the project properties, as well as changing the Magick.NET NuGet packages to match.
