All image manipulations are done via other apps, but this lil beauty is great coz it's so quick and lean on memory resources |

| 230135 | 2004-04-18 02:17:00 | why not just use thumbnail view in folders,and xp's inbuilt piucture viewer for a closer look? | metla (154) | ||
| 230136 | 2004-04-18 02:28:00 | <<the extra graphics plugins available free for Irfanview such as Harry's Filters, Filters Unlimited and especially Filter Factory which lets you use all the freeware Photoshop Filters available within the programme.>> Highlander, where can we get these free plugins? Is there one web page that has the lot? Thanks - Steve_L |

| 230137 | 2004-04-18 03:57:00 | Much camera software (and a lot of scanner stuff) seems to have been subjected to "graphic designers" who failed art at kindergarten. It's "user friendly" to the point of inanity, and "intuitive" to the point of being unusable by anyone with a mental age greater than 6 months. :D Irfanview is clean and usable. There's your flame, beetle. |

Don't know about anybody else but I like my folder views to stay on the Details setting. I will enable thumbnail view occasionally but most of the time it just annoys the heck out of me and besides, it is so much quicker to double-click on a pic for Irfanview to pop open and browse through the rest of the folder. |

| 230142 | 2004-04-18 06:53:00 | Yes it can do a slideshow. Godfather has already mentioned this. I have Infranview loaded onto my Parents Win98 machine just for this purpose. | Jen C (20) | ||
| 230143 | 2004-04-18 09:48:00 | When you add a program like this, they generally become default do they not? is there a key, tick or option somewhere along the line where you can pick which program will open whatever you are working on? like add it to the file or edit type list ? does this sound odd? other wise i could see it taking over when all i might want to do is veiw a pic? just had in the past probs with music players do this or zip file programs . . . . . and have no end of probs sorting out what is default or deleting them or uninstalling them . am i way off on this idea?????? like today i seemed to take 120 photos,(had no idea i had taken that many till got home) and it would be a nitemare if i had to do them one by one or something to get them saved to CD or disk??? i just want bulk save and copy to CD then . . . . . does this or can this idea happen? change progs when needed? drop down list or something? ?:| thanxs all who posted, much appreciate the input . beetle |
