Big thumbs up from me for this one. I find it particularly useful for
browsing my clipart collection, which is pronominally in .wmf format.

It will also run as a portable application, so it can be put on a USB
stick with your other favourite programs. :)

I've been using it and its sister program, FastStone Photo Resizer,
for a while now.

Always loaded lightning fast in WinXP, but dog slow in Win7. Now it
loads just as fast in Win7!

This picture viewer is truly in a class by itself.

I updated my copy to 4.1 but I'm using the portable version. I noticed
that the "Show 'Browse with FastStone" folder context menu in Windows
Explorer" setting is missing from the Settings "Associations" tab in the
new version. For me, that's a deal killer so I went back to version 4.0.
I emailed the authors about the missing setting.

Did anybody else notice that the setting is missing or is it something
on my machine maybe?

I would say it is mainly matter of personal preferences.

When I first had tried it, I liked it.
But I am too used to Iview...
