Noticed this morning, very very nice image explorer

do yourself a favour and download it now
cheers
this should go in the ‘other software’ forum. 
(actually so should the project dogwaffle thread)
it’s really nice… UI is cool (especiall the time line thingy) butit doesn’t have much use…
Personally I prefer www.irfanview.com that is also free.
It supports a gazillion formats…and is superfast
for browsing images.
irfanview is also a batch image converter/processer…opens anything. even .iris, and ogg vorbis.
Heehee. Looks like someone just made iPhoto for Windows . . .
[edit]
cheers Marty - i certainly like it - especially how it automatically scans your HD for all images
Yea that’s exactly what I came to my mind when I saw it. That it looks like iphoto for windows with a little diffeent interface.
free as in “free beer” anyways… looks like a nice piece of software
XnView can create contactsheets from what I know, just select the pics in the browser, tight-click… planche contacte/contactsheet :]
Ciao

I’ve been using IrfanView for years (since 1998 or so), couldn’t imagine anything being better. It opens every type of media file you can get your hands on.
