ACDSee VS IrfanView?

[Hacker]

Lesmo16,

it doesn't

And you're sure you enabled Tools - Options - Read - Rotate images based on EXIF orientation?

Exactly that!

After i checked it, XnView is the best..

[Lesmo16]

What I ment is, automatic rotation of the *view* of thumbnails and fullscreen JPEGs,
without changing anything in the file itsself.

Checked again - only the thumbnails are NOT rotated.
Preview and fullscreen is OK - sorry - my fault!

Irfanview is able to play movie files, specifically I am interested in QuickTime .MOV files. Is it possible to use Irfanview to play such files in the QuickView pane or does it only work for images?

I have added the line IviewAdditionalTypes=*.mov in the [lister] section of wincmd.ini after which I am able to get a display of the first frame in the quickview pane, but that is all I seem to be able to get.

The only other plugin I found that can play these files is TxQuickView (shareware).

Zitat:
but as long as XnView doesn't rotate JPEGs automatically according their built-in EXIF orientation flag

It already does.

I've just checked it - I think 1.74 is the last version - it doesn't.

IrfanView, Imagine and cPicture do that well with images from my Canon Ixus 400, XnView doesn't.

[Edit] The camera gives perfect EXIF information! [/Edit]

You have it, please set options/Read/Rotate picture EXIF orientation..

Added to that XnView is rather slow compared to IrfanView, just watch thumbnail performance for example, not only in TC but in the applications themselves.

Really, do you have activated the cache? Which dimension of thumbnail do you have? Which version of XnView? Which size in pixels have your pictures?

... a little time line:

You've signed in just for us? Thanks!

But anyway - look at the 3rd quote - I've used the posted options!

Pierre.

XnView Cache is off for comparing purposes of course, afaik IrfanView doesn't cache thumbs.
1.74.
I checked different sizes, right now 150*150.

But, like I said, thumbnails mode (F8) in XnView itself is slower than thumbnailmode in IrfanView, too, it's not a TC issue only.

The only way to make XnView faster is to let it thumbnail a directory after IrfanView did it because then the pics are already in file cache of course. With identical start conditions (reboot, empty file cache) XnView is always slower.

Hello Pierre ! Welcome aboard !
- Glad to see you here !
• I tested quickly the thumb-nails display in the Browser :
- 81 pics having various sizes from 132B up to 842 KB, the thumb-nails panel is filled in one second, the cache was activated (but not refreshed for a while…)
- I don't think that is specially "slow"…
- Under Win 98 SE - P IV @ 2.4 GHz - 512 Mo DD-RAM

 Kind regards,

You can't test performance with computers that fast and few pictures like that, do a "real" test. With activated cache this makes no sense at all. I understand that you love XnView but don't lose objectivity please, thx.

81 pics, very funny...

Furthermore I haven't said that XnView is "slow", I only said that it's "slower than" IrfanView.

Just save your icon collection as 1600*1200 Jjppgs, I think you will have exactly 12871 pics then, you can do that with IrfanView is less than one second probably.

331 JPEGs average 2,2MB with empty cache

cPicture: 6 seconds (yes! 6)
XnView: 75 seconds
IrfanView: 75 seconds

I will try cPicture now, you got me.
