What is it?:

The Leecher is an html/javascript image viewer that is run through your web browser. It is meant to view collections of pictures on web sites that use numbering systems in their filenames, like [img01.jpg, img02.jpg, etc].

Key Features:

  • Completely Keyboard Controlled for one-handed browsing
  • Detects all sets of numbers in a URL and lets you choose which set to change

    • Increment - move forward one (img01.jpg -> img02.jpg)
    • Decrement - move backward one (img02.jpg -> img01.jpg)
    • Jump to One - jump to first image in numbering system (img07.jpg -> img01.jpg)
    • Seek forward - keep incrementing until we find an existing image (assume 04 and 05 are missing, img03.jpg -> img06.jpg)
    • Seek backward - keep decrementing until we find an existing image (assume 04 and 05 are missing, img06.jpg -> img03.jpg)
  • Auto-zoom - automatically fit images to the window
