I'm Tired of Irfanview

[dakidski]

Irfanview crashes nonstop on my XP install. What's a good alternative? I don't like Picasa, at all... Is ACDsee classic still around? What do people use?

Adobe Bridge

Paintshop Pro has a really good image browser/viewer from memory.

Hmm, I might give them a go, Irfanview would be perfect if it was stable. Any word on if any older version is preferable?

[AstroBlue]

What exactly do you want to use it for?

[dakidski]

Just for viewing pictures in fullscreen. As basic as possible, I don't need any fancy functions. Fewer features, the better. (For editing I use Photoshop.) Naturally I also want stability. Whenever i 'browse this folder' with Irfan, it crashes. I'm currently looking at XNview.

does reinstalling irfanview fix the crashing problem? I use irfanview and I haven't had anything even remotely resembling a crash with it (hell I was unaware that it could even crash at all)

Same.

[dakidski]

Thanks. I'll try re-installing.
edit. Heya, it worked! yay!

1. Restart
2. Reboot
3. Reinstall

If those 3 things don't fix the problem, then ask.

also, if anybody wants it, here's a icon set I found for irfanview that makes the icons look more photoshop-esque (because that roadkill icon gets on my god damn nerves)

to use this, drop the dll into \Program Files\IrfanView\Plugins, open Properties/Settings, click the Extensions tab and hit the Miscellaneous button, and finally select "use different icons (Icons-Plugin)"
