I needed a viewer for exr files because the default MacOS Preview app doesn't open them. This does the job well with a minimum of fuss.

I used to use Xee for viewing folders of images on macOS, but since they moved up in version numbers, they've begun charging for their software... I set about trying to find a replacement that was minimal, would open images maximized to the edges of the screen but not in full-screen mode, and could scroll through ALL THE IMAGES in a folder. Really Apple, how hard is that!?
qView works amazingly well, and it definitely doesn't hurt that it's free and open source! Big thanks to the developer for making my life a little easier. :)
Can't get how to open a folder. Should I use OPEN for one-by-one file? Why?
It's even simpler than built-in Windows viewer. Deleted and forgot.

clean but also lacks a lot of useful functions
My top favorite alternative to Xee so far on the Mac. It's impressive how fast it can go through massive amounts of photos in a directory even when fit to image is enabled and I have some stitched together panos. I don't have a lot of raw files though. I do wish it would save rotation changes and would do what I consider to be lossless edits (why I docked one star).
Qview does not automatically rotate images. Honeyview did rotate them.
