The application allows for easy zooming, image navigation, and viewing of material in high resolution. A key improvement is that it is not limited to images from Digital Library of Slovenia (dLib.si) but also supports displaying images from other systems. This marks an important step toward more open and interoperable management of digital cultural heritage.
