simple minimalistic python app that opens a given image file using gdk-pixbuf or ImageMagick and displays it via sdl2.
It can open all image-formats that your gdk-pixbuf loaders and/or your version of ImageMagick are able to deal with, e.g.:
RAW: needs gdk-pixbuf-loader-libopenraw or ImageMagick+libraw20
heic: needs gdk-pixbuf-loader-libheif
avif: needs gdk-pixbuf-loader-libavif
jxl: needs gdk-pixbuf-loader-jxl
exr: needs ImageMagick + python3-Wand
...

usage: python3 /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/imageSDLview/imageSDLview.py file

please change /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/imageSDLview/imageSDLview.py to match your display resolution:
#Change this to screensize of your device (960x540 is suitable for a JollaPhone aka Jolla1)
displayheight = 960
displaywidth = 540

Requires: https://openrepos.net/content/lpr/python3-pysdl2 , gdk-pixbuf , gdk-pixbuf-modules , python3-imaging

to launch this app from other apps/system-dialogues:

create a imagesdlview.desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/ with:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=imagesdlview
NoDisplay=true
MimeType=image/heif;image/heic;
Exec=python3 /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/imageSDLview/imageSDLview.py %u

then:
xdg-mime default imagesdlview.desktop image/heif

finally:
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/

and it should work now
(jpegxl .jxl should work the same way, but you’ll have to create a image/jxl mimetype first:
xdg-mime install jpeg-jxl.xml
giving mime scheme in a xml file)
