| 558422 | 2007-06-12 09:04:00 | Hello members I have been looking for an image viewer for a while. Firstly I have been using fax and picture viewer from XP for years with a stint of Picassa. Picassa seems not quite right, though it has the import possibility from the USB drive(or flash, or any other).Somehow I never warmed up to it. Lately I have been trying Irfanview. I guess it is somewhere between the two mentioned. Is there such a prog that is slightly "better" than Irfanview(not in speed), more in things like the zoom, and import. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks NT |

Not to sure with Polyview, still I will try them all. One is for certain, IrfanView which I had loaded some days ago is not making in to the top two. It is fast and simplicity is the key for that! Thanks a lot guys! NT |

| 558428 | 2007-06-12 19:09:00 | Irfanview didn't make the cut for me either..it was bully-ish and took control of - and associated itself to things I did not want. Ridded of the sinister program, I went back to Picasa2 |

| 558429 | 2007-06-12 20:16:00 | Did you try Maxview (www.faststone.org) from the faststone site? I never got the hang of it, but in many ways it's closer to an enhanced pic/fax viwer than the picasa type proggies. |

Ridded of the sinister program, I went back to Picasa2 That's what happens when you blindly click "Next" when installing a program . IrfanView has always politely asked which files the user would like it to be associated with and does not take them over unless requested . |
