After that, you can browse, search, reorganize and view images in full res. Not having to go over the internet [keeps things much faster than other tools like Pinterest.](https://twitter.com/seenaburns/status/950054230852694016)\n\n#### Great things about Isolate\n\n- **Quick**: Both in workflow and snappiness, Isolate is meant for the power users\n- **Manage your images how you like**: Isolate just reflects your directory structure, you get to organize things how you see fit (even with nested folders)\n- **No BS**: Isolate isn't a social tool. There's no sharing, notifications, discovery. It just does its job and stays out of your way.\n\n## Install\n\nDownload | [macOS (app)](https://github.com/seenaburns/isolate/releases/download/v2.0.2/isolate-2.0.2.dmg) | [windows (unpacked .exe)](https://github.com/seenaburns/isolate/releases/download/v2.0.2/isolate.2.0.2.exe) | [linux (.appImage)](https://github.com/seenaburns/isolate/releases/download/v2.0.2/isolate-2.0.2-x86_64.AppImage)\n-------- | --------------- | --------------------------- | ---------------------------\n\nSee [build/](build/) for how to build from source.\n\n**Note**: v3 is in development! Building from source (master) is less stable than the releases.\n\n## Screenshots\n\n![screenshot-browsing](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2801344/44303857-95999d00-a300-11e8-9b26-c368e9644c4c.png)\n![screenshot-modal](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2801344/44303856-94687000-a300-11e8-8537-fff128412224.png)\n\n## Usage\n\nIsolate works off of a base folder, when you first start drag and drop a folder to browse it. You can always drag and drop another folder if you ever want to browse another folder.\n\n#### Navigation\n\n![navigation-drawer](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2801344/44303469-87df1a00-a2f6-11e8-8909-d75da4b668b8.png)\n\nWhen hovering over the bottom toolbar, a drawer appears, containing subdirectories you can navigate too.\n\n- `n` opens this drawer\n- `esc` closes it\n- `Enter` navigates to the first item in the list\n- Typing filters the directories\n\n#### Modal\n\nClicking on any image will open it, fitting to the window.\n\n- `z` zooms in and out, between fitted and the image's original size\n- `ESC` closes the window\n- `Left` and `Right` arrow keys navigate between images\n\n**Right clicking** on the image shows you\n\n- `CmdOrCtrl + Shift + C` copies the image to your clipboard\n- `CmdOrCtrl + Shift + O` opens the image in your native file manager\n\n#### Toolbar\n\n![popup-menu](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2801344/44303740-9a108680-a2fd-11e8-9912-75f247a1f8fc.jpg)\n\nAdditionally in the toolbar lets you zoom the image grid, search across directories and more options under the popup menu.\n\n- `CmdOrCtrl +` zooms in\n- `CmdOrCtrl -` zooms out\n- `CmdOrCtrl n` toggles night/day mode\n- Shuffle toggles the order of your images. When changing folders, they are sorted by filename, but shuffle will randomly sort them.\n- Hovering over `More` shows you more options\n\n##### Moving\n\n![moving](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2801344/44303800-063fba00-a2ff-11e8-86fe-e0ed84e5bfb6.jpg)\n\nSelecting `Move` in the popup menu under `More` lets you select images and move them to other folders. A gold tint shows the selected images.\n\n- Select/Unselect images by clicking them\n- `e` activates selection\n- `m` opens the directory drawer to move images\n- `ESC` exits back to normal mode\n\n##### Searching\n\nA search bar in the top right will search for any files with the term in their path. For example `2d` would match anything in my `inspo/2d/` folder.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fseenaburns%2Fisolate","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fseenaburns%2Fisolate","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fseenaburns%2Fisolate/lists"}
