Comments about XnView MP as a Alternative to IrfanView
henriquedominguesgarciaXnView has dozens of tools and filters for fast image editing, as well as an integrated file manager with several functions to organize images. Besides everything runs on both Windows and Linux. It's a bit slow compared to Irfanview, but it's still one of the best programs of its kind.
11Anton_KarmanovGood alt, but not fully free.
0KorwinAfter enabling the "Show files in subfolders" option, it crashes with tens of thousands of images. IrfanView in the same situation works flawlessly (apart from the fact that it does not save the generated thumbnails to the database for quick reuse).

KennethWilhelmssonnomacs is so far the best contender to irfanview. You can go through images and delete or keep. Scale and cut. Having some trouble with paste, but I hope that is a setting. Or an yet undiscovered feature.

Comments about qView as a Alternative to IrfanView
IrfanView is not a simple viewer. Take all of what qView does away from IrfanView and you still have a complete program. qView appears to be a good program just not an alternative to IrfanView.
0Only processes single images, no way to look at folders or organize.

Honey view bring sharpness & clarity to bigger pics that Irfan struggles to do. Tested: bmp; jpg; png.
0Allows lots of settings for mouse buttons and wheel allowing me to zoom in and out with the click of a mouse button and scroll my images up/down at a sensible speed with my mouse wheel. Absolutely brilliant program. Lightweight and stands head and shoulders above Microsoft Photos (Windows 10). Has now taken over from IrfanView.
