  Description     : Fast and Configurable Rust Image Viewer

avis-imgv is a fast, configurable and color managed image viewer built
with Rust and egui. My goal was for it to be fast and to be able to
adapt to any kind of hardware power through user configuration.

As of now it's only been tested in Linux, but I don't see why it
wouldn't work in Windows/macOS. Configuration and cache directories
are obtained through the directories crate which is platform-agnostic.

"I" in the above is not me, but the upstream author.

I'm always on the hunt for a good image viewer. I am particularly
interested in software that has the capability of showing multiple
images at once, and recursing into subdirectories.

This one is also one of the (currently) rare image viewers written in
a safe language (Rust), which I find particularly relevant given the
attack surface of image rendering in general.
