Before all the predated commands where kept in an array and their
indexes were used in bindings. This meant that users couldn't add their
own functions from the config file. Now key/mouse bindings have been
changed to to store the function ptr (wrapped in a cmd_t struct to also
store the mode) directly instead.
General cleanup done in this commit:
Defined `MODE_ALL` instead of using magic number.
For example, suppose one had bindings like:
{ 0, XK_q, g_quit, None },
{ ShitMask, XK_q, {quit_err}, None }
{ ControlMask, XK_q, {quit_err, .mode=MODE_IMAGE}, None }
The existing binding `q` has been left unchanged and is defined the same
way. However, the new hypothetical binding `Shift-q` can be used to call
the custom function quit_err in any mode (default). `Ctrl-q` on the
other hand will be called only on image mode.
Closes #50

Dependencies
nsxiv requires the following software to be installed:
- Imlib2
- X11
The following dependencies are optional.
- inotify : Used for auto-reloading images on change.
Disabled via
HAVE_INOTIFY=0 - libXft, freetype2, fontconfig : Used for the status bar.
Disabled via
HAVE_LIBFONTS=0 - giflib : Used for animated gif playback.
Disabled via
HAVE_LIBGIF=0. - libexif : Used for auto-orientation and exif thumbnails.
Disable via
HAVE_LIBEXIF=0 - libwebp : Used for animated webp playback.

Please make sure to install the corresponding development packages in case that you want to build nsxiv on a distribution with separate runtime and development packages (e.g. *-dev on Debian).
Building
nsxiv is built using the commands:
$ make
You can pass HAVE_X=0 to make to disable an optional dependency.
For example:
$ make HAVE_LIBEXIF=0
will disable libexif support. Alternatively they can be disabled via editing
the Makefile directly. OPT_DEP_DEFAULT=0 can be used to disable all
optional dependencies.
Installing nsxiv:
# make install
Installing desktop entry:
# make install-desktop
Installing icons:
# make install-icon
Installing all of the above:
# make install-all
Please note, that these requires root privileges.
By default, nsxiv is installed using the prefix /usr/local, so the full path
of the executable will be /usr/local/bin/nsxiv, the .desktop entry will be
/usr/local/share/applications/nsxiv.desktop and the icon path will be
/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/{size}/apps/nsxiv.png.
You can install nsxiv into a directory of your choice by changing this command to:
$ make PREFIX="/your/dir" install
Example scripts are installed using EGPREFIX which defaults to
/usr/local/share/doc/nsxiv/examples. You can change EGPREFIX the same way
you can change PREFIX shown above.
The build-time specific settings of nsxiv can be found in the file config.h. Please check and change them, so that they fit your needs. If the file config.h does not already exist, then you have to create it with the following command:
$ make config.h
Usage
Please see man page for information on how to use nsxiv. To do so, execute the following after the installation:
$ man nsxiv
