While there's perfectly valid reasons not to like Adobe's business practices... for people who use Photoshop I can't find a reason not to use Bridge which
ships with Photoshop anyway. Used XNview, Irfan and others before...
Bridge looks good, opens all relevant formats and has very nice content filtering options. As it works together with other Adobe apps one can do stuff such as
creating a single pdf from 3gb of psd's within no time. One can batch process whole folders from the browser and can use Photoshop actions when doing so.
The program offers all relevant info for Illustrator and Indesign files without having to open them. It's evident that no other product can support these features
but in case one uses this combo of apps anyway these are quite good reasons to stick to Bridge, I find.

I posted a similar question regarding viewing WRL files. I was pointed to Mootools, in particular 3DBrowser Light (http://www.mootools.com/plugins/us/3dbr ... index.aspx). As it turns out, this thing views just about everything; all manner of 3D files, HDR, you name it. Once I downloaded it I got an email from them that I could buy it for USD $18.00 (normally $29.00). Done and done, very happy with it.

One thing that is very cool is that once installed, you can use their stand-alone browser to view the files, or in the preview window in Windows Explorer (Win 7 Ultimate x64).

choo-chee"]bridge is slowwwww....
That's nonsense, really.
Yeah, it might be that there's programs which display more than the roughly 20 frames per second I see here
(when keeping one of the arrow keys pressed down). But can such seriously account as a judgement criteria?
When set up properly (meaning the Browser has its miniatures stored on a fast SSD) display speed should
be a complete non issue for any product.

no it's not nonsense ...
some of my folders contains a few 100's of images.
many times I get a series of images - dozens.
ACDSee just blazes through those folders, while others just show you 1 by 1 ....

The count of images and also their size doesn't matter - let it be a folder with hundreds of huge .raw files and many GB in size.
I'm sure you just didn't care to assign Bridge a Cache Volume, so that it needs to create its previews on the fly. That's slow.
