I do use XYplorer's built in preview too but it's not used as a large picture viewer but more of a "mini" viewer that's usually set to be twice or three times the size of the my current thumbnail size.Īctually, I also have FastStone Viewer as an alternative to XnViewMP and it was my main one for a very long time and that's because it has one of the best full screen capabilities and it still is. There's also ImageEye but it's not setup in PFA at all and simply located in the same folder as my other image viewers. I actually also have several backup image viewers set up in PFA and that is FastStone Viewer (since it has very easy to use crop and resize functions) and HoneyView(mainly there because it has the capability to browse images within archives). While browsing pictures in XYplorer, if there's an image I want to have a bigger look at, I have JpegView as my primary image viewer that's associated through PFA. So when using XYplorer, this is the primary use of it and also for folders with less amount of files. I have paper folders where my "favorite" pictures are located in. The way I use XYplorer is a bit more complicated. So I always use it when I need to view many many images and as good as possible. I really like it because of how fast it process many images and how well it displays them then in thumbnail view. So XNViewerMP is my primary viewer for folders with pictures. Are you saying you'd like to be able to go through a folder or even a drive and all it's sub-directories and delete all the thumbnail cache associated with that folder and all it's subs? Would you select the select the folder from which the scans starts? So I want to make sure I understand you correctly. For these tasks I set up a seperate thumbs-directory that I delete afterwards. This is not related to maintenance and cache cleaning, but rather to data I won't use again.

Then when you press the A key it opens the raw file rather than the jpg at 100%.Stef123 wrote: what I am hoping for is a feature that scans tree branches by itself, without manual folder browsing. You can do a default conversion of raw files. It also does a different conversion than was done by the camera so don't be surprised if the resulting JPG looks different from the out of camera JPG even if you don't tell Batch Convert to make any changes. The Batch Convert tool does let you change the image size and even appearance so it is a useful tool for use with RAW images. As far as I can tell the only thing FastStone can actually do to a RAW file is to use the Batch Convert Tool to convert it into a JPG. I have tried various things, including reading the manual. If you select a RAW file and edit it you are actually editing the embedded JPG. I would like to know how you are editing the RAW file in FastStone. You do need to adjust the RAW settings to get past working on the embedded jpeg - but TBH I have only used that very occasionally. I am a long time user of FastStone and find that for both RAW and JPEG editing it provides 99.9% of all my needs. How do Faststone and XnViewMP compare from a feature and performance standpoint? I often hear that XnViewMP would be a better match for my needs. Works well for me, except that while it is "color aware", it is not "color managed". I've been a long time Faststone user - mostly for quick viewing and image culling - less so for editing.
