What's in it/hyprforge-media

Photos, video and 3D models, one window.

Open a photo and it floats on your screen at its own size. Open a folder and you can walk through it in exactly the order Files shows it. Behind that is a grid grouped by date, a library, a filmstrip, the EXIF details and a slideshow.

§1What it does

The same "next" as Files: Both ask one shared library which picture comes next, so two windows on one folder never disagree.
The right way up: EXIF orientation is always applied, and the inspector shows the rest of the camera's notes.
Big photos, safely: A 36-megapixel file is measured before it's decoded, so one huge picture can't take the viewer down.
Video through mpv: mpv is loaded when it's needed, not linked in. Without it, everything else still works and a video tells you what's missing.
3D models: STL, 3MF and OBJ, drawn on the GPU in the same window. Drag to turn them.
Part of the desktop: Copy, Open With, Trash, Show in Files and Set as Wallpaper each go through the same code the rest of the suite uses.
