(3) Click "Load Images..." to see all previews in a folder and subfolders.
(4) Click a preview to see a larger image.

Image Viewer loads the selected folder and sub-folders.

To speed loading, use Bulk Preview Maker first to make 128xANY previews.

Loading images is done in the "background", so you can keep looking.

The "Load Images..." dialog remembers your previous folder, even from the last time you used Image Viewer.

Note: Image Viewer will need your permission to read the image files on your disk. More...


Why does Java give a "Security Warning" when I install?

Because Image Viewer needs to access your hard drive (more)

Why does Viewer need access to my hard drive?

When you click the "Load Images..." button, Image Viewer reads every file in the chosen folder.

What's the point?  I can already View-Thumbnails in Windows Explorer, and then open the images with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.  Image Viewer can't even rotate or delete.

That's right. Image Viewer is just a simple GUI around the preview-list component originally built for Scrapbook. Surprisingly, some users prefer it to their existing utilities because
(1) previews open quickly (if pre-built with Preview Maker)
(2) the single column of previews makes tighter use of screen space, and
(3) Image Viewer automatically loads all sub-folders, too.
