Another candidate for the smallest and fastest image viewer contest: http://www.fastpictureviewer.com

Be sure to try the DirectX accelerate mode if your video card supports it.

darkkosmos: ACDSee QuickView sucks. I used it month ago, now I use XnView. QuickView is only fast for viewing, but when you want to switch to browse mode, or even do simply task as set wallpaper you need to run full totally overweighted application.

As Blackhouse already pointed out, this really looks like IrfanView-Reloaded
IrfanView can do everything and more (afaik) than Imagine. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong

I really like PicWalker

and the fantastic Faststone MaxView

Since they had a zipped version which you didn’t need to install, I gave the program a quick spin.

As I said, it looks A LOT like Irfanview, you can even find most of the options in the same places.

The only disadvantage of Imagine at this point is that it doesn’t support a lot of image formats at this point (like RAW for example). This could change in future of course since it seems pretty extensible through a plugin system.

For the moment I’ll stick with Irfanview since it does pretty much everything and is fast.

Great find! I’ve been using Irfanview for years but this is so much faster loading images. I haven’t finished reviewing all of its features but so far it seems comparable to Iview.

..or use a tool like IconsExtract (first google hit) to extract the desired icon from the executable.

Dose you can change icons when you click on Tools > Folder Options in Windows Explorer and there on File Types. You would have to keep the Xnview executable though and load it to choose an icon from it.

Blackhouse, as with ACDsee I have not used Irfanview for more than three years

The link appears to be down, google yielded a mirror here:

Obviously I can’t tell whether this is the latest version or not. Martin?

Have you compared imagine with ACDsee quick viewer?
