#272I personally like "FSViewer" way more. It's customizable, portable and free. It was my favorite software, which was replaced by "XYPlorer", which is a fileExplorer alternative. FSViewer link: https://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm XYPlorer link: https://www.xyplorer.com/
I tried the Irfan view but I am just more comfortable with FSViewer.

ACDSee 2.4 and 3.1 were similarly legendary and fast in both startup time and overall performance of image loading.
When ACDsee got bloated (and the shareware screen to nagging) I switched to IrfanView.
ACDsee just kept getting worse until it just became unbearable. I did miss the image sorting abilities until I found PhotoSift.

#274This is all-time favourite, indispensable graphics utility! I've used it for years and it's never let me down! If Irfan is reading this, can we pleeeeease have a native Linux version?

#2754MB to download the installer, back in the days when programs just did the thing they did and didn't include runtimes for entire virtual environments.
But what if you want to display Full HD video in the image viewer from an URL? Wouldn't you need Electron for that? Also I was under the impression just the DLLs for all the image formats would be over 4 MB. I wonder how large is it uncompressed.

This is the lightest fastest yet feature rich media player for windows I know. Its 12 MB compressed though. Didn't know irfanview could do that

Wiztree is a good alternative to Tree size, it's almost instantaneous
Or the good (old) Scanner from http://www.steffengerlach.de/freeware/ (a <1MB executable)

#277love that the author still uses the same dithered photos of Jajce, Bosnia - his hometown - as in Win9x days in the about page and website: https://www.irfanview.com/main_about.htm .. make me want to visit. Edit: typo (thanks)
Jajce, not Jacje. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jajce
I've been there. It's a lovely little city and the river through the centre has some large and very impressive waterfalls, right in the middle of the city.
There's also a small church, underground, which was carved from solid rock rather than built. It's amazing.

#279I love IrfanView, have been using it since I started using Total Commander back in ... 2003? Have donated/purchased a licence several times for both projects.

#280Been using irfanview since i heard about it in college from a classmate. I've included it in a number of image processing pipelines when i just need a few simple modifications to a lot of images. Its faster than a number of libraries that do thr same thing
