Lightweight image browser
Isolate is a lightweight tool for viewing and organizing your art reference and inspiration with ease.
Isolate works off of your local file system: you get started by dragging and dropping a folder onto the application window. 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.

See build/ for how to build from source.
Note: v3 is in development! Building from source (master) is less stable than the releases.
Isolate 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.
When hovering over the bottom toolbar, a drawer appears, containing subdirectories you can navigate too.
