urig-herb Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Hi, I'm searching a fast picture viewer. All I found are still not available as universal binaries and run slow with rosetta. I tried: -iView -GraphicConverter -CocoViewX -Slides! -ViewIt I think all of them where o.k. if compiled for x86. What are you using to view pictures (apart of "preview" and iPhoto)?

DJP Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 i've owned a mac for more then a year and i never found an imageviewer which was so simple and fast like compupic or acdsee for windows. All imageviewers for mac want you to import things first. I hate that. I just want to go to a directory and the imageviewer makes thumbnails of the directory and i can view the images fullscreen. The only client you have is acdsee for mac, a very old piece of software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I just prefer iPhoto, (or picasa on win32) personally. I never liked irfanview, although my coworkers do. Other than that, GraphicConverter or Photoshop (which has a browse mode in it when looking at directories). To each his/her own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know GraphicConverter, but it is still a ppc only app and really slow on my system. I'm searching a fast picture viewer. This must be an universal app. Does anybody know a picture viewer that is an universal app or x86 native? iPhoto works ok, but has no browsing mode.

walterav Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Justllooking is a good replacement for "preview" but its still kinda slow compared to ACDsee on windows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alicheusz Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 try ffview http://freshmeat.net/projects/ffview/ FView is a fast OpenGL-powered picture viewer a la ACDsee. It is aimed at letting you read manga or other comics onscreen (in either windowed or fullscreen mode). Its features include fast prefetching, smooth panning, voice commands, the ability to browse pictures inside archives (.rar/.cbr, .zip/.cbz) and persistent per-picture options.

wow Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) ffview is a little better but when opening a big dir i can get me a cup of coffee. Windows thumbplus is so much faster Edited January 13, 2007 by wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alicheusz Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) I just find new (for me) picture viewer app. These one is blazing fast it uses OpenGl to render. Load speed is only limited by my HDD. http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/xee.html EDIT: These app can be quite useful too http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...&st=0 Edited March 17, 2007 by alicheusz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
