ImageGlass

[edit]

Could you help me find any trustworthy reviews of "ImageGlass", http://www.imageglass.org, a free-software photo viewer? By replacing Windows Photo Viewer with Microsoft Photos, Microsoft's driven me away from their products, but I'm hesitant just to go and download something about which I know essentially nothing other than the developer's self-published reviews and one or two YouTube videos, and aside from those reviews and videos, all I'm finding is false positives, especially Glassdoor reviews of this company and similarly named firms. Input from any established Wikipedians would also be helpful, if you have experience with the program. Nyttend (talk) 23:37, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Nyttend: Not an answer to your question, but check out Irfanview. According to IrfanView's official website, since 2003, IrfanView has been downloaded over 1 million times per month. (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 23:43, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, thanks. I didn't care what I got as long as it was a good lightweight image viewer, and I liked what's said about Irfanview, so I've downloaded it and made it default for image viewing. Nyttend (talk) 23:56, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I discovered it back when I was using Windows 98 and I still use it as my default image viewer today. Windows Photo Viewer is inferior, and Microsoft Photos is a bad joke. I never liked ACDSee. (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 00:37, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
