I'll try it. I wonder what they have done that makes it better (if it even is) than Picassa.

One thing I already don't like: Deleting from the program deletes the file fro your computer.

warning. DO NOT DELETE A FOLDER USING THE PROGRAM. I tried to delete a folder form the program so it wouldn't scan it, now I can't find it anyehere




What may make it better is that it is GPU driven by Directx API so that may be what sells it while Picsa is driven mostly by the CPU

I edited my post. I panicked but found them in the (duh) RB. I had a few hundred files in there and went by it. Still don't like it though.

I usually just go to my Pictures folder, and then double click on a photo file to open it (default Windows Photo viewed) and then use left-right arrow to view my album.. why bother with programs like Picasa or this? ^^

Nice checking it out now.


Wow... it is very fast

K this is great as a picture viewer but it has no image correction or editing of any sort, I am very fond of picasa image correction options.

Crash city...not a great first impression.

************

Hmm seems the first crash is a feature...it works when started after that crash. I started it up again in hopes of a screen shot of the error, but its working now...there were 2 error windows during the initial crash.

************

Second impression is excellent! Love the carrousel feature. This is a really cool image viewer. I love apps that take advantage of my 8800gts.
