The Faststone Image Viewer’s latest Version 4.0 is available since Nov 19, 2009 . The following is a quote from their website about the improvements make in this version:
- Enhanced the skins and toolbar icons. Now the windows have drop shadow effect in Vista and Windows 7
- Added “Search and Replace” to Batch Rename
- Added “Renaming Preview” to Batch Rename
- Enhanced “Conversion Preview” in Batch Convert. Now it is possible to compare the original and converted images side by side
- In Advanced Options for Batch Convert, added an option to specify whether color adjustments (brightness, contrast, sharpening etc.) should be made before or after resizing.
- Shows GPS information in the “Image Properties” window. A “Show in Google Earth” button will be available if the image has GPS information
- Added “Border Effects” under Edit menu
- Added an option to remove EXIF/IPTC data when emailing images
- Added shortcuts for favorite folders
- Improved performance on network folders
- Improved compatibility with Windows 7
- Fixed bugs
- Other minor improvements
Do not feel that there is anything improve on the performance overall. Browsing thru raw files is still not as snappy as I would like but still better than Adobe bridge. The Faststone Image viewer can be download here:
