<div>I've been using an old shareware app to look through photos on my computer and I wanted something a little newer.. didn't find anything I really liked so I started my own.  It's still pretty basic, but here's a link to an MSI installer:</div> <div> </div> <div>Download the <a href="http://www.stevex.org/code/pictureviewer/pictureviewersetup-1.0.0.0.msi">Picture Viewer</a> installer file.  It requires the .NET framework, and I'm not sure if the installer will automatically get it for you or not - if not, get it from Windows Update.</div> <div> </div> <div>Some things of note:</div> <ul> <li>It's pretty lightweight; the executable is 52k.  Of course it uses the .NET framework so that's not really a fair measure of anything.</li> <li>It loads any image format supported by the framework; I know this includes PNG, GIF, JPG, BMP, and maybe others.</li> <li>It defaults to scaling the image to fit into a preview, hit enter and it gives you a full-screen view.</li> <li>Hit DEL anytime to delete the image you're looking at.  (This was the feature that motivated me to write the app - going through a collection of images taken on my digital camera and deleting all the ones I don't like is easier when you can do it with a single keystroke).</li> <li>Space bar will take you to the next image when in full screen; Enter will get you out of full screen.</li> <li>Backspace goes up a directory.</li></ul> <div>I've never tried having Visual Studio.NET build the installer for me before so <a href="mailto:stevex-weblog@stevex.org">let me know</a> if you have any problems with it (or any features you'd like to see).  I'm probably going to continue working on it until it does everything I want, but for now it's pretty close.</div> <div> </div> <div>(I'll post the source for it soon).</div>Thu, 01 Sep 2005 19:17:05 GMT
