+imv (image viewer for X and/or Wayland)
+
+imv is a command line image viewer intended for use with tiling window
+managers. Features:
+
+* Native Wayland [2] and X11 [1] support
+* Support for dozens of image formats including:
+ * PNG [1]
+ * JPEG [1]
+ * Animated GIFs [3]
+ * SVG [4]
+ * TIFF [1]
+ * Various RAW formats [5]
+ * Photoshop PSD files [5]
+* Configurable key bindings and behaviour
+* Highly scriptable with IPC via imv-msg
+
+Optional dependencies (autodetected):
+
+- wayland
+- FreeImage (support for GIF, RAW, PSD formats)
+- libnsgif (support for GIF)
+
+If you don't have at least one of FreeImage or libnsgif, imv won't
+support GIF images at all.
+
+Notes:
+
+[1] - uses a library from core Slackware, so always enabled.
+[2] - requires wayland.
+[3] - requires either FreeImage or libnsgif.
+[4] - imv supports SVG images, but the librsvg in Slackware 14.2 is too
+ old for imv to use, so SVG support is disabled. Sorry.
+[5] - requires FreeImage.
