| 230144 | 2004-04-18 10:01:00 | >If you need to do something that irfanview cant, then I'd recommend you look at the GIMP I am a fan of the GIMP using it on my RH9 system at home. Have installed into WinXP at work and find that it is not 100% usuable - most noticeable is the inability to close some windows. Is anybody else finding this? |

You dont seem happy with the Fuji software that came with your camera. It maybe similar to the FinePix viewer that came with my Fuji 602 camera. I find it excellent for transferring the pics from camera to the hard drive, and other tasks like emailing the pics. Could be worth persevering. |

Personally i have my view set at small icons,and just click it onto thumbnails when looking thru pics,and click it back to default view before closing the folder.Thumbnails are displayed instantly so it suits me. |

| 230147 | 2004-04-18 10:44:00 | too much going on brain not following what fingers are typing..... i dont think its actually the finepix prog that was the problem, just something else that came along for the ride....... the extra software these things seem to come with i guess, will pursevere ....... it may not be that bad, just caught me off guard i guess. too much to soon, with what learning the camera and set stuff. beetle |

| 230148 | 2004-04-18 10:44:00 | Part of irfanviews installation procedure specifically asks what you want it to open as default viewer. If you choose to select all image formats it even nicely prompts you "are you sure " It also gives you the option at any time to change file associations. My irfanview installation is set up to open just about every graphic and media format I commonly use. Plugin installers for extra filters are available on the irfanview homepage but free (legal) photoshop plugins need some hunting on google. There are lots out there, some of which are simply awful to downright spectacular. Most of the big plugin suppliers for photoshop such as extensis and flaming pear have one or two freebies. Good ones to start with which are easy to find are Unplugged and Harry's Filters. |

| 230149 | 2004-04-18 10:45:00 | When Irfanview is installed it pops up a dialogue box where you can choose which files to associate with it . That means that if you choose none (ie don't tick the boxes) then all your current graphic file associations will stay as they are . If you associate none when you first install Irfanview you are able to add associations later at your leisure . If you don't associate any files with Irfanview it just means that you need to open the program and then open your picture files from within the program instead of double-clicking on the file in Windows Exporer and having the program open automatically . |

| 230151 | 2004-04-18 10:59:00 | > i like thumbnails but my settings always go back to icons which annoy me no end....... You need to go into Windows Explorer, set your folder view how you want it (ie Thumbnails) then go to Tools > Folder Options > View and click on "Apply to all folders". That should fix it but if it doesn't there may be another step that I have forgotten - it seems a bit too simple.... |
