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.
It open the entire folder, you can press left or right for navigation. The UI does not show that as it wants to be as clutter free as possible.
The program is good and lightweight, but although it claims to support image editing, no editing options are available.
Minimalistic, stylish, and fast. It does exactly what I expect: double-click a photo to make it full-screen, zoom in and out with the mouse wheel, and hold down the mouse button to move around the photo. There's a set of settings that covers all my needs without making the app too overwhelming or complicated.
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.
The best, fastest, simplest, cleanest and most functional image viewer I've used.
clean but also lacks a lot of useful functions
