FAQ
Q
what are the features of nomacs?
A
Grid View for Thumbnails
Image Mosaicing Tool
Gif Player
WebP on all platforms
Q
Is it possible to stop movies such as GIF or MNG?
A
Yes, you can hit pause in the toolbar player or by selecting View > Stop Movie. If you then save the image, the currently displayed frame will be written.
Q
What is the synchronization all about?
A
We are involved in image processing. Hence, we often need to compare the same image after different processing stages. So we wanted something that does this job faster and easier than Photoshop. That was the initial motivation behind nomacs.
Q
Is it possible to put the thumbnails vertically at the left edge of the screen?
A
Yes, you can right click on the thumbnails panel and then choose e.g. ‘Show Left’. You can even undock the thumbnails if you do not like the nice overlay effect.
Q
What does nomacs mean?
A
First, when we started with the RAW support, the MacBeth color charts mostly did not have the colors expected when we loaded the images in nomacs. Second, we solely supported Windows and Ubuntu in the beginning. At this point we want to thank all the supporters who translate nomacs or build it on other OS.
