Today, I would like to share my new photo tools developed by Pierre Gougelet called XnView. Current version is v1.94.2 and it's very stable. For all this years, I have been a very loyal end-user of ACDSee Photo Manager since v5 till the very latest v10 but I've encountered several issues with it until I've decided to switch to this free photo manager utility. XnView has pretty much the same interface & features just like ACDSee but getting used to it one thing and customizing it is another. Launching this application & converting 1000 photos (both down-sizing & compressing) are way much faster than ACDSee. Basically, fiddling with it for 30 minutes or less soon made me got used to it and now, I've removed ACDSee and have started using this.
Here are its features: (long list)
