I have been stuck with acdsee 3.1 for many years, just waiting for a fast viewer and also with support for Maya IFF.......
And today is the day.....bye bye others...welcome xnview....
I also would like to say thanks to the developers for this excellent software.
Now, after a very intensive test, there are some things that will be very interesting to check/fix/implement.....
xnview does not display an image until it is fully loaded in memory.
It would be useful an option to show the image while it is read, let's say single buffer.....If you switch from viewer to browser from a small image, the browser its compressed.
It would be useful to have independent window size for the browser. Also, the position of the viewer windows is not kept each time you launch xnview, only browser position. if you load a large image, bigger than the screen, and you have in options "fit window to image" and "force xnview to fit image". Xnview resizes its window to the size of the desktop but it does not move its origin, so part of the image it is outside the desktop.If you use toolbar buttons to go to next/previous image (or rotate), if the images are different size, the mouse still in place while window moves, so you have to move the mouse again to the button.
move mouse to buttons automatically.When you drop an image to xnview or double click on an image associated with xnview. An empty browser windows opens first and after (when the image is fully loaded....that´s why i like single buffer
) the window changes to the viewer. open images directly in the viewerAnd as in the post suggestions from a 3D animator(just like me)
You have an option to "Zoom Lock", if you see sequences then
It will be very useful and option to "Pan Lock" be able to see RGB channels and also
be able to assign keys to that functions (and others)so you can see Red channel pressing "R" o Alpha pressing "A" (instead of "M")
Well, just some thoughts........
Thanx again.
