I don't think my computer even knows it's there.
Interesting concern - I wait on you report.

Gota quick question?

Can you resize and compress a jpeg with IrfanView.

Also .. When I double click or launch a pic can I set it up to show the pic full screen without any toolbars or borders?

Thanks

[Noyb]

Yes - Yes - Yes .... and more.

Use the Enter key to switch between full screen and normal viewing mode.
Also double click the image to go to Full screen
And the Center mouse key (under the scroll wheel) to return to Normal.
See the options as to what shows in Fulllscreen.

And here for more initial setup suggestions ... http://jmrjlk.home.insightbb.com/

WARNING ... Irfanview can be addictive.

Thanks ... I'll give it a go ..

But how do you double the size of the task bar?

Are you refering to the task bar clock ???

Unlock the Task bar (right click a free space on it and uncheck it),
then move the cursor to the top of the bar, you will see a double-headed up/down arrow.
Drag the line up to where you want.
Lock the bar, if you want.

Thanks ChuckE.

However, when I double the size of the task bar, I only get time and day of the week, unless of course I put the curser over it. Shouldn't I get date as well?

[Tipacanoe]

Oops. I figured it out. It's because I'm using large fonts.

I guess I need the freeware after all! :-)

You have more choices, and a calendar as well, if you use the Freeware.
Then, Clock Customizing is done in the Tclock Properties choices.

It appears to be very minimal on system resources and has a very small footprint.

Thanks NOYB

Now if I could just figure out Infranview

Heres is all I want from it.

Double click on a image file and boom opened full screen. Right click or something simple (no keyboard) and exit. Right click and save to specific folder. Right click and have edit options.

And last .. have it as default for *.mov and a few other file formats I hardly ever use.

I'm sure it can be done.. just seems kinda complicated to figure out since the last time I gave it a go.

I use a old and NON bloated version of ACDsee that does everything I've listed except the added file formats (*.mov) and edit.

Keep em coming

IMO .. Irfan’s .. Copy n Paste options are confusing.
I do all this moving from Windows.

Set Irfan’s options so that in Full Screen … all images “Fit the window”
2 click on the image – and presto .. Full screen mode.
Right and Left mouse keys will now scan the images in the chosen folder.
I call this my manual slide show.

Now the Center Mouse key will function as the Enter key – returning to the normal ( editing) mode.
I don’t think center mouse key shortcut has made it to Irfan’s help page yet.

Irfan included this feature a few Revs ago at my request, because I was having trouble reprogramming my mouse keys when using a mouse on my laptop.

That’s the advantage of donating to become a registered user… Talking to the programmer.
Try doing that with a costware program.

Yea - I hear the ACDsee 3.0 was the last good version. That's about the time I switched.

Anymore ????

Anyone ever played with one of these or is it just a waste of time?

If you have IrfanView set as the associated application to the filetype you want to be able to click on and have IrfanView open it, then it will do as you want. You can use IrfanView to even set those associations. Just go to the command Options>Set file associations.

To have the picture open to full screen can be done be setting the command View>Display options>Set images to desktop width or Set images to desktop height (whichever you prefer).
But I would find that VERY ANNOYING, to have every image I ever look at to be bloomed out to the screen size.
INSTEAD, I suggest that you use the setting Fit only big images to desktop. That is the setting I always use.

What happens with that setting is that most images will open to 100% size with the IrfanView window only as big as the image. Then IF the image is bigger than the desktop the image is scaled down (something less than 100%) so that the image just fills the screen. This works out really great when you are looking at digital pictures when most cameras have a much larger resolution than your screen. Try it out, you might like it.

To open or to save?
To open those movie files just look at the Set file associations, those movie type are listed as well.

If you are thinking about saving movie files, forget it. IrfanView is not a movie editor. You can use IrfanView to view movies (MOV, WMV, and AVI, maybe a couple more too) but it usually brings in a plug-in to handle those types. IrfanView also can be used to listen to audio files (WAV, MID, MED, MP3, RA, SND, WMA and maybe a few others) but you can't save an audio file with it either.
