Desktop image viewer app build on Rust

Goingmerry

Is my second Rust based side-project for MacOS.

This application uses Slint for the user interface.

Usage

1. Install Rust by following the Rust Getting Started Guide. Once this is done, you should have the rustc compiler and the cargo build system installed in your path.
2. Install cargo-generate

   cargo install cargo-generate
   

3. Set up a sample project with this template

   cargo generate --git https://github.com/slint-ui/slint-rust-template --name my-project
   cd my-project
   

4. Build with cargo

   cargo build
   

5. Run the application binary

   cargo run
   

It is recommended to use an IDE for development, along with the LSP-based IDE integration for .slint files.

You can also load this project directly in Visual Studio Code and install our Slint extension.

Package the application using cargo-packager

Details are here

cargo install cargo-packager --locked

With an example for a slint app here

cargo r -p cargo-packager -- -p goingmerry --release
