Will it do what I need?

Post by Pauleduc »

I have thousands of photos on my Mac, most of which were taken on my iPhone, and mirrored on my Macbook via cloud services. I need to review, sort, and delete photos I don't want anymore. This is very painful to do using the built-in Photos app. I pretty well have to open each image to see what it is, because the thumbnails are too small for me. Also, this process makes it somewhat difficult to delete photos.

Most of my photos are in the cloud (OneDrive or iCloud), and the full sized image is not on my computer. When I want to view or work with any photo, it needs to be downloaded from the cloud to my system. The Photos app seems to do this automatically when a photo is selected.

My question is will XnView automatically download the photos to my system like Photos does?
