Wayland Support?
codeberg.org
I know the project name clearly states `x` in it. But then also is it possible to have a proper Wayland support using nsxiv on xwayland if fine, but few key maps fails to work and was looking forward to `nsiv` as this will make it the image viewer of choice on Wayland.

According to this issue, it looks like there are no plans, understandably, for making a version/fork of nsxiv but with native Wayland support.

Any recommendations for a simple image viewer in Hyprland?

    Sounds interesting, but the requirements say it needs gnome-desktop. I’m using Hyprland on NixOS, so it doesn’t sound like this will work for my setup unfortunately. Thank you for the suggestion. Hopefully this helps others.

      Currently, gnome has moved away from eye of Gnome to Image Viewer/Loupe. The website doesn’t have the dependencies though I don’t think you should need the gnome-desktop package. Perhaps you can look into it. Just be aware that the app is pretty barebones for now.

      Edit - Alternatively, you could look into gwenview which is normally shipped in kde. That will have the advantage of shipping with a lot more editing options and since it is a more mature(I think is the right word) project, I expect it to have better support for esoteric file formats.
