• Image metadata information

  • View info such as file size, width height and even exif information where present

• Tab Based navigation

  • Load multiple images in many tabs, edit, each image individually, and save.
  • Information is specific to each tab, and preserved across tab switches

Shortcomings

• Skia can't let us tell it where to point to a native memory pointer which means we waste 2x image memory

• Although there exists an ImageBitmap interface, it's a useless one since nothing will be drawn unless its SkiaBackedImageBitmap, see JetBrains/compose-multiplatform#108

• The image is being fully redrawn after modification, causes some ugly flickering every time a redraw happens
