I like nomacs very much and although FastStone MaxView is still my default viewer (no viewer can beat the elegance of my all-times favourite and in fact nomacs lacks file association options), I would recommend it for a free, portable, multi-platform, fast, customizable and nice-looking graphic viewer.FastStone MaxView is a fast, compact and innovative image viewer that supports all major graphic formats. It is being developed by three students from the Vienna Technical University, who are very responsive and open to suggestions and who seem to be real perfectionists- although nomacs is extremely stable they are not in a hurry to release the first stable release version since they want to fix all the minor bugs and add new features. Nomacs also allows starting multiple instances of the application. It remembers last accessed directory and support drag&drop. It is not as light as a feather (Qt-dependency) but it is not much heavier on resources than other image viewers. I like its easy hot-keys (especially T for Thumbnails and M for Metadata), its slide-show player, its neat interface and its portability. While still in an early phase of development (it has not yet left the beta stage), nomacs is a very promising image viewer, in fact it is very good. Its Windows version runs on Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 7 and is available in both portable and installer versions. It can be found in various Linux repositories and there is a Mac port as well. Nomacs does indeed seem faster than most. Nomacs also features a synchronization feature that will work on computers on the same network or LAN. On the image editing side there is crop, resize and a ‘pseudo color function’ where one can play with hue, saturation and RGB color values using a slider. The toggle between frameless and normal view is not exactly obvious but a quick search revealed it to be F10. The program can also be viewed in full screen or various levels of transparency and in frameless mode where the image only is shown, floating over the background.
It offers faster than most thumbnail view of images in a folder and a player to view a folder ala a slideshow.
It is capable of reading and displaying exif metadata. It supports the most common image formats from jpg to gif (no animations however) and xmp to pgm and others including the raw format. beta tested) is an open source image viewer for Windows, Linux, and Mac machines.
