InViewer - image, animation, video player

[smaragdus]

InViewer, the successor of GIF Viewer, is a tiny (only 763 KB unpacked), capable viewer with clean and elegant interface. Upon my request the developer was very kind to release a portable version of InViewer which stores its settings in settings.xml file inside the program folder, thank you, developer!

InViewer requirements:

Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 (32 and 64-bit)
.NET Framework 2.0 is required.

InViewer license:
InViewer is licensed under GNU GPL version 3.

InViewer portable:
InViewer version 1.2.1 is natively portable and stealth (this is the first portable version)- download the portable archive (inviewer_portable.zip), extract it to a folder of your choice, run InViewer.exe, the settings will be saved in settings.xml file inside program folder (the folder should not be write-protected).

InViewer note:
Obviously InViewer uses Windows Media Player for playing of audio & video files (which means that its main strength is viewing of graphic files).

By default it is not allowed to associate InViewer with the supported media formats:



but this can be changed "If you know what you are doing..."

The developer of InViewer is very friendly, helpful and responsive, for me it has always been a pleasure to communicate with such people.

It's, of course, not stealth if play audio and video, only for images
