Re: Twenty one interesting FREE image viewers
Couple of additional Tiny image viewers
1. LittleViewer v1.1 (2005) 21k, Yoda-crypter compressed
Already in the DB, (but not mentioned in the above list)
http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=801
Since the original developer's web site vanished, the current PFC pointers are broken, but the program can still be obtained from this recommended source:
http://download.freewarefiles.com/files ... Viewer.zip
(see comments in main PFC entry about why an alternate download from BrotherSoft is best avoided)
2. IMV(stb) v1.02 (2013) lightweight, fast, no-frills image viewer/browser with a minimal interface for the Windows platform.
Two versions available within the same package:
• IMV 1.02 (76k uncompressed)
• IMV_light, an even leaner version of the main program (49k uncompressed)
Development started in 2007, regularly updated and meticulously documented up to current version released February 2013.
Source code available.
Can be launched from
• Command-line
• Win Explorer
• Context menu ("Open With")
Partial functions list:
• Slide show, selectable speed
• Zoom control (+/-/original)
• Border control (white/double)
• Filename Label toggle
• Filename Label font selection
• Image sharpen when upscaling
• Image drag (left arrow drag center)
• Image resize (left arrow drag edges)
• Transparencies Background color selection

stb-IMV Win32 binary download:

Re: Twenty one interesting FREE image viewers
@SYSTEM:
Miracle ! Both links do indeed work again right now, while they were both definitely broken for a looong time, ...up to three hours ago...
I like to think Thomas' remark (2008-01-17) about LittleViewer's down site and my own little grumblings (2013-11-16) in the comments section
might perhaps have prodded whoever managed this welcome site revival...
