You want to open a picture, FAST, no matter the format or resolution ? You want to open a picture and then move from one picture to the next in the same folder with arrow keys or mouse scroll, again fast and without loading or menus fonctions or whatever ? You want to batch process a folder to convert all files to png with the larger side limited to 2000px, keep the location data but reset the orientation data, and r…
Do you have a link for Ditto? Searching for "Ditto app" and "Ditto software" returns several possible results for me (e.g. clipboard, music app, managing "copy", content sharing).

Re: IrfanView
#302Earlier quoted context omitted.
It opens instantly. It shows just the image by default (no toolbars, scroll bars, menu bars, or status bars). I can disable linear interpolation with F3 and show width/height of an image with F2. It zooms with the scroll wheel, pans by dragging, and it lets me go to the next, previous, first, and last image of a directory instantly, and doing that won't resize the window. I suppose the key difference is that some peo…
> I suppose the key difference is Not really the difference in context of IrfanView which is also just an image viewer. I tried JpegView, but it’s lacking several features I use in IV, and stuff I commonly do in IV is harder to do, so for me IV is a clear and easy winner. Performance is a little better, but not in a way I’d actually care about (mainly superfast skipping through images is slightly faster)
Could you tell me which features do you use in IrfanView that JpegView lacks?

As an only occasional windows user, I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing such a list, maybe in a GitHub gist if you find yourself bored one day :)
Each their own, that's mine. Note that this is not a tech user or developper list, but the list of what I install on any new windows pc, including those at work etc ... 7zip (open any archive) VLC (open any audio/video file) IrfanView (+ the "all plugins" installer on the same page, open any picture file) SumatraPDF (read PDFs) Libreoffice (to open any office files) NAPS2 (easy scan, and split/merge/... PDFs) Ditto (…
I'd love to know what you see in TeraCopy... Doesn't Win11 now do parallel copies?
Re: IrfanView
#304Ah, the nostalgia when Windows what so shitty that you actually needed a tool for the simplest of the simplest tasks of viewing images in all kinds of formats. I see no need for it for myself as even Windows has a default image viewer that is enough for me and I mainly use Linux anyway and every decent distro comes with a tool for that. Gnome and KDE both have their own that fit into the DE perfectly.
Good to hear your smug, self-satisfaction is keeping you warm, but anyone who thinks this is comparable to the default image viewer in Windows (even windows 30+ years after IrfanView) is out of sync.
Next time, try to not let your brain shut off when you read something you do not like. I never said it's comparable. I said it's enough FOR ME, I do not need anything like that. Likewise, I do not even know what the windows' viewer can do, I think it can rotate and save in a different format. I do not even need to rotate. I just need to view images, and if I really need to edit images I would fire up GIMP or try out Krita, but I do not. We just fail to see the need, I either just VIEW images or I want to edit images both ends have excellent tools, I do not need some middle ground tool.
Literally everyone else in this thread said the exact same thing, they do not use it anymore because nobody needs it anymore.
Speaking of out of sync: Enjoy your self-satisfaction in using some ugly ass looking outdated software that has 100 functions you do not use.

Those are all settings you could have changed yourself. IrfanView is the best image viewer on Windows, hands down.
Expressing a viewpoint necessitates a downvote?
on HN only few people can downvote, I wonder why, in order to make sure down votes are justified? If so, that fails miserably :D
Re: IrfanView
#306I switched to FastStone image viewer several years ago after getting curious when I saw it on ninite and haven’t looked back. It virtually instantly displays even large JPEGs from a cold start.
Re: IrfanView
#307Back when i used Windows, IrfanView was my go-to image viewer, downloaded along with SumatraPDF via ninite.com. There's something similar in the repositories in Software Manager on Linux Mint, and Pix is fuller-featured, but like Foobar2000 for music, I still miss IrfanView from time to time, probably because of muscle memory and being more impressionable back then. (There's almostt certainly a way to get these Windo…
Have you looked at DeaDBeeF for a music player that has the foobar2000 aesthetic?

Like Delphi, FreePascal and Lazarus, though less often for those three than for IrfanView, and those three get a good number of sneers by modern ignoramuses, each time. The joke is on them, due to the amount of late night and weekend work (unpaid, often) that many of them have to pull, and tamely accept and try to justify, to save their egos and paychecks. "The emperor has no clothes" kind of thing ... And nowadays,…
Delphi kicked ass. Though, looking back, it didn't have hash tables at your fingertips like modern languages. I really can't imagine writing code without hashmaps anymore. Did that ever get added, and in a convenient way that doesn't require declaring a new object each time?
Good question.

But it's not difficult to write your own for simple map types at least, like with strings as the keys. Generic maps would be harder.

Never could get into foobar... team winamp here
Is Winamp as we know it still around?
WACUP = WinAmp Community Update
Even works as a portable app.

Everything is the best program I have ever used. I couldn't live without it at this point. It would be like cutting off both arms.
Have you tried using Fluent? It uses Everything as the back-end search and then adds steroids to it.
I know about Ansys Fluent, the CFD software. I'm guessing you are not talking about it. Can you provide a link to this software?
