    TGB72, it has a very good batch tool that can do all this stuff. Again, try the program before you review it.

    Major vulnerability in the included Zip-handling library, which the developers are ignoring. They ignore all email, in fact. Perhaps they're imaginary.

    Can't understand why some people of a free program that consistently improves making it one of the best viewers. The foundation and concept of this program is solid and it works superbly. Is it the best? I dont know. But for me, it exceeds expectations. This is a product that WORKS!

    Does this program allow you to open several files at once in tabs? NO
    Can you apply filters or adjust the image contrast/brightness to several pictures at once? NO
    Can you see recursively the content of a folder and subfolders at once? NO
    Can you preview video, audio and documents with this program? NO

    so like I said it's a nice fancy viewer but basic compared with Xnview.

    TGB72 - you should try out the program thoroughly before you write your "review".

    Multiple Instances: From my time as a windows-programming professional it was quite easy to allow multiple instances, does anyone know why FS is without support for multiple instances ?
    Or did it get really complicated with the modern Windows-Versions?

    I definitely hope to see this feature to start more than one instance.
