Ah, that's sad. I miss the speed and intuitive UI/UX of the old Picasa. No image viewer has ever been able to handle massive photo libraries as well for me :(

I've been using it ever since on my windows machines because I've never found anything even coming close to it. I don't need anything feature rich with a 5 second startup time. I need something that's 500ms away.

It's not a bloaty Mc Bloater, Base aim is fast, responsive, and should open any image you throw at it, thats it.

IKRR! Since 6 years I have been suffering in linux since 6 years trying to open images quickly.

Trying best to make it feel the same.

Licasa currently opens a JPEG 16MP/4MB image in 400ms.
