• Sorry, this is quite wrong… Whether you'ld be a TC-user for a long time (like Lesmo 16 and I…), you would know that images can be displayed very quickly either via the "Lister" features - which can use XnView or others as plugins, or as thumb-nails in the panels …
• About the files managing, you might give a try to TC, and compare : there is no finish photo…
When I said File Manager I did mean the venerable Windows Explorer. I have on many occasions tried various shell addons and image viewers that were intended to extend Explorer into something more full featured. But at least with the standalone image viewers i've tried I've never been happy with the behaviour I've gotten.
When I'm browsing images I use full screen and I like to use the scroll wheel or PgUp and PgDn to advance to the next image or previous image in the current folder.
When viewing images from an image browser a double click or enter on an image results in near instant view from which I can scroll or Page through the other images in that folder also without significant delay.
My experience with using file managers for the same purpose is currently limited to Windows Explorer in tandem with various add on image viewers. I've always found the delay before the image displays appreciably/unsuitably longer. I've also found in most cases it won't let you advance to the next image in the current folder, requiring one to close out the view and select the next file. When it has allowed an advance it has tended to be as sluggish as the initial view or not work with full screen.
In a nutshell my statements were based on this experience which is apparently limited and ignorant. With the file management solutions I've tried I've found that the tendency towards primarilily viewing images made an image browser an ideal file manager. But I shall check out this TC and see whether its a better fit for what I need.
Thanks Clo for correcting my misconception regarding this.
