Is there a decent minimal image viewer for Windows that isn't completely shit or bloated full of unneeded functions like xnview? 

I've tried

>jpegview 

>imageglass

Do people use the native windows photo viewer?

I've been using KDE for the last few years so idk what is good anymore.

Go back to linux and install nsxiv

IrfanView

This but feh

I like qView.

Extremely minimalistic so it fits my needs really well, though no new releases have been pushed for a while.

feh and dolphin are the two things I miss the most

I use jpegview and I'm happy with it.

The native windows 7 photo viewer works fine for jpg and png but it doesn't support webpiss and sometimes it fails to load stuff, so I switched.

>IrfanView

qview is fantastic. i especially like that theres no window borders

next best is the built-in gnome one, its basically the same thing but with gtk decorations

I just use the regular pre-installed one. What are you looking at that needs anything better?

But why grugg use linux? An OS that fails even at such a basic thing as viewing images doesn't even qualify as a toy OS

this

here's some things I do with zero configuration irfanview that are not as easily done with other viewers:



- press enter to go fullscreen, press left-right to change pics, if you go past last pick a window shows up automatically with the current folder and you press left arrow to go up the directory tree. the name and path of the file is also always displayed (I use mcomix for comics though)

- ctrl+r to resize, shitf+r to reopen file discarding changes

- selection box is the default and only tool you need, ctrl-x cuts to black, ctrl+y crops, ctrl+v to paste (works for screenshots as well). this covers 95% of your editing needs, I barely ever use gimp

- press 'B' for batch operations and after you set the options you want it's 3 more clicks (add all, use current folder, start) to convert everything in current folder to your rationally chosen size and quality

- always has resolution, size and date at the bottom.



The one terrible negative of irfanview is you can't save pngs with transparency. author literally said he is too lazy to implement it the fucking cunt

I've never met a Windows user that doesn't use the default photo viewer, I prefer Gwenview but given how shit Windows is at customization I'd rather not tinker with what few Windows machines I have to get an image viewer half as good as Gwenview

oh and best of all it's a portable executable so you can just keep a backup and copy it over and it just works (but you have to do file associations)

windows photo viewer. the old one which you can still enable. not the "improved" win10 version.
