ShowLineDrag
Drop a photo on the line. The card points at the original file — no copy, no upload.
ShowLine Photo
You keep a photo open, and it covers the work.
A reference photo, a design you are copying, a face you need to remember — every time you open a viewer, every time you switch windows, you are wasting your time.

Screenshots
Every image below is rendered by the app itself — no mockup, no retouching.
A viewer is a window. This is an edge.
A viewer takes focus and sits over your canvas, so you nudge it aside every few minutes. A line at the edge costs you nothing — your pointer brings it out. Photo does only this and asks for your attention with nothing else.
Read
Move the pointer to the edge and the cards slide out. Move it away and they tuck back.
Arrange
Drag a card along the line to reorder it. Right-click to take it down; the file on disk is never touched.

Questions
Does it copy my photos?
No. A card points at the file on disk. Taking it down never deletes anything, and nothing is uploaded.
Can I use it on two monitors?
The line follows your primary display. There is no line per monitor yet — that is the honest limit of version 1.0.
What happens after the trial?
Seven days with every feature. After that it is $4.99 once. No subscription, no account, no reminder emails.
Is it really this small?
Under a megabyte, system DLLs only, no network code. You can check the size of the installer before you buy.
