#### Scan, tag and browse your photo and video library

Image Flow indexes the folders you choose into a local database, tags
everything automatically, and gives you a fast way to look through it.

* Scans images and videos, including RAW (ARW, CR2, CR3, NEF, NRW, RAF, ORF,
  RW2, DNG) and HEIC, reading EXIF for camera, capture date and location.
* Tags automatically by camera, year, season, time of day, media type and
  folder — no typing required.
* Filters on several tags at once: values within a category widen the result
  (2016 or 2020), categories narrow it (Olympus and 2020).
* A virtualised grid that stays smooth over a large library.
* Full-screen viewer with zoom, pan, rotate, a metadata panel, video playback
  and a slideshow — all fully keyboard operable.

Everything stays on your machine. The app has no network access at all: it is
built without the network interface, so it cannot phone home even if asked to.

## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install Image Flow

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://kubuntu.org/) or later, including [Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu) and [Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

Versions of Kubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-14-04-lts) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-15-10) don’t include *snap* by default, but *snap* can be installed from the command line as follows:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```
