    It's in a directory on the github page and can be found in the

    Whether this will work any better for you, is debatable.

    If you click too many times on files detected as matching, it opens
    an external image editor. If you click once on a file path in the
    left pane, the picture is updated. The two pictures placed into
    that picture, show test articles which are two different frames of
    a movie,
    which helps ensure (for a test) that the frames are roughly similar
    to one
    another (if you use the slider and turn the match level up or down).

    The fit and finish of the program is annoying, to say the least.
    But, it's an ambitious program, it runs on Windows and Linux and
    MacOS,
    and I suppose it's inevitable that all the variations cause problems.
    Maybe it should have been written in Java :-)

    maybe could you (or someone else) install czkawka from the software
    manager and see if image previews are tiny?

    https://auslink.info/linux/czkawka.png

    that would confirm that the app is at fault. if photos are displayed
    properly it must be something with my system here. although I did try
    v10 on LM 21.3 and the preview pics were tiny also.

    Ok figured it out. Permissions/allow executing as a program

    Correct. Your first step would be:

    $ file linux_krokiet

    Which would return that it is an ELF. Now you know it is not
    a ZIP or a .deb file.

    Next, you would

    $ ls -al linux_krokiet

    and see the permissions are not 775.
    The ownership is likely felix:felix already, and
    that part is unlikely to break it. So all we need is

    $ chmod 755 linux_krokiet # There is also a shorthand for "add the execute bit"
    # instead that achieves the same result. The UMASK controls
    # how some of those things get set in the first place.

    Since dot might not be in your executable path, launch is

    # ./linux_krokiet

    and a weirdness is the .cache and .config, the sub-directory down there,
    one section uses krokiet for the name, the other uses czkawka. You don't
    need to examine that at the moment, but just keep that in mind if
    you ever need to visit the .cache or .config. In the Nero file manager,
    you would allow it to "list hidden" or whatever in the settings, so
    you can see ~/.cache or ~/.config . Otherwise, when listing your ~
    homedir, you might miss that those two directories exist.
