Image browser

Script made by me

You can watch the images using the arrow keys to go forward or backward.

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import PhotoImage
from glob import glob

cnt_img = 0

def next_image(event):
    global cnt_img, images, label
    if event.keysym=="Right":
        if cnt_img < len(images) - 1:
            cnt_img += 1
    if event.keysym=="Left":
        if cnt_img > 0:
            cnt_img -= 1
    
    show_image(cnt_img)


def show_image(cntimg):
    print(cntimg)
    img = images[cntimg]
    label["image"]=images[cntimg]
    label.pack()


def window():
    global cnt_img, images, label
    # Create the main window
    window = tk.Tk()

    images = [tk.PhotoImage(file=image) for image in glob("images/*.png")]
    print(images)
    # Load the image using the PhotoImage class
    # image = PhotoImage(file=image)
    img = images[cnt_img]
    # Create a label to display the image
    label = tk.Label(window, image=images[cnt_img])

    # Pack the label to display it in the window
    label.pack()
    window.bind("<Right>", next_image)
    window.bind("<Left>", next_image)
    print("Im here")
    window.mainloop()


window()

Script made by ChatGPT

The script made by chatGPT is not so smooth, sometimes it won’t go further or backward and we should ask chatGPT to improve it in this sense.

import os
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import filedialog
from PIL import Image, ImageTk

class ImageBrowser:
    def __init__(self, root):
        # Create a frame to hold the image and buttons
        self.frame = tk.Frame(root)
        self.frame.pack()

        # Create the "Open" button
        self.open_button = tk.Button(self.frame, text="Open", command=self.open_image)
        self.open_button.pack(side="left")

        # Create the "Previous" button
        self.prev_button = tk.Button(self.frame, text="Previous", command=self.show_prev_image)
        self.prev_button.pack(side="left")

        # Create the "Next" button
        self.next_button = tk.Button(self.frame, text="Next", command=self.show_next_image)
        self.next_button.pack(side="left")

        # Create the label to display the image
        self.label = tk.Label(root)
        self.label.pack()

        # Set the initial image index
        self.current_image = 0
        self.image_files = []

    def open_image(self):
        # Open a file dialog and get the selected file(s)
        file_paths = filedialog.askopenfilenames(filetypes=[("Image files", "*.jpg;*.png;*.gif")])

        # If a file was selected, update the image list and display the first image
        if file_paths:
            self.image_files = file_paths
            self.current_image = 0
            self.show_image()

    def show_prev_image(self):
        # Decrement the image index and display the previous image
        self.current_image -= 1
        self.show_image()

    def show_next_image(self):
        # Increment the image index and display the next image
        self.current_image += 1
        self.show_image()

    def show_image(self):
        # Check if the index is within the range of the image list
        if self.current_image >= 0 and self.current_image < len(self.image_files):
            # Load the image from the file and display it in the label
            image = Image.open(self.image_files[self.current_image])
            image = image.resize((400, 400), Image.ANTIALIAS)
            image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
            self.label.config(image=image)
            self.label.image = image

# Create the root window
root = tk.Tk()

# Create the image browser and start the main loop
app = ImageBrowser(root)
root.mainloop()

Ok, now that we have compared ourself to chatGPT, let’s see what we are going to think for the next python project.
