John, Just curious: do you recall what the bugs were? I use Irfanview a lot, but I'm always looking for something better :-) C.R. -- Work is the curse of the drinking class.

I use Irfanview a > lot, but I'm always looking for something better :-) When I wanted to view an image and was in the browser, I'd double click on the image and it would never appear in a maximized window, no matter how often I set it as such. That was one of the things I didn't like. Can't remember what the other thing was. Faststone works nicely for me now: http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm Might not work for everybody though. My needs in a viewer are fairly simple since I have $ware graphics programs too. -- John Corliss BS206.

Ended up ignoring any camera transfer software as card readers/writers are so cheap. And a card reader/writer is required if you want to use the Canon Hackers Development Kit, http://chdk.setepontos.com/ , never mind if all you want is to transfer/move files from/to your memory card as you would with any typical USB storage device.

I've had a card reader for a long time and it will read my camera's cards. However, it's easier for me to plug my camera in because I have a USB cable plugged into the back of my computer and the other end is laying on my computer desk. Thanks for pointing out that CHDK. Here's a good article on the program: http://lifehacker.com/387380/turn-your-point+and+shoot-into-a-super+camera Unfortunately, my model (A1100IS) doesn't seem to be supported. -- John Corliss BS206.
