This viewer is by far the best I've ever used - last 10 years it served me great. The whole point is that the guy is enthusiast who gives it for free – so he is not under pressure to fill his software with tons of useless “functionality” and end up with awful memory usage like so many commercial programs (that used to be good, but went so bad). Clean, simple, low resources usage… batch jobs, all the needed manipulations with the pictures… Simply great piece of software.

I have IrfanView, PhotoFiltre, XNView, Picasa2, Photo Turbo Browser, PhotoScape, FastStone Image Viewer, as well as a few others. IrfanView (Browser) does become bogged down sometimes when I open a folder with lots of large images. So I use Total Commander with "thumbnail" view. And I have both XNView and IrfanView as plugins for Total Commander, should I happen to need more dealing with images than Total Commander can provide. Then only other complaint I have about IrfanView is the icon that is default for the program, and has been for years. The icon looks like some poor animal that has been run down by a neglectful/mean motorist--with tire tracks running across the midsection of the poor creature.

I've been using Irfanview for 10 years and counting, amazing viewer. The only reason why I use Xnview too is because it use tabs what I found incredible useful (I would wish that Irfan include this feature in a future). Regarding to the use of resources Irfanview it's ahead of Xnview but not by far, Xnview isn't a bloat app at all.
