Virustotal:

Legend:

libraw in name - app is compiled with libraw feature and require libraw package sudo apt install libraw on ubuntu
heif in name - require libheif-dev to be installed to be able to read use heif images
gui - gtk version of app
cli - command line version of app
krokiet - slint version of app
console - windows version, that shows console in background - usable to find problems
gtk_46, gtk_410 - gtk version used to build
minimial appimage - this version does not contain gtk-related libraries and they are taken from the system, so it has requirements almost identical to the regular version. Use only if you have problems with the regular version or know what you are doing
winversion, linversion - the application has been compiled on Windows or cross-compiled on Linux. Both versions should work exactly the same, but the Windows version requires the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package to be installed (it should be already installed on most Windows OS)

Other:

Snap builds are not available, due error during build Environment validation failed for part 'czkawka': 'cargo' failed with error code 1.
Mac heif builds are also not available, due linker problem - https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/actions/runs/11186720416/job/31102310566

Nightly version of app.

New version should be added automatically by CI
