## Core Features

### Immersive Borderless Interface

After opening a single file, it can automatically traverse all supported format images in the same folder, with smooth switching back and forth without waiting; supports loop browsing from the beginning to the end of the folder, and can also jump to the first or last image in the directory with one click, suitable for batch viewing scenarios.
