  • Thumbnails view:
  • By switching to thumbnails view you can see small thumbnail representations of all photos available in the current folder. Press 'V' on the keyboard or click the View image/thumbnails button on the toolbar to switch views. If auto-rotate option is enabled it will also work for thumbnails.
  • Save as:
  • Save as… option allows you to make a copy of a photo and if you choose a different file type than the original the program will perform format conversion on saving the file. Keyboard shortcut for this option is 'S'.
  • Open with external program:
  • This option allows you to send the current photo directly to another program you have for working with photos. When you press 'E' or click Open with external program on the toolbar the program will look in the system registry for programs that are registered for the corresponding file extension and show you the list to choose from. If no such programs are found Photo Gadget Viewer will show you the standard browsing dialog so you can select the external program by yourself.

New in Photo Gadget Viewer 1.2 Build 070528 (May 30, 2007)

  • Auto-rotate based on EXIF: If your digital camera stores information about image orientation in its EXIF data set then Photo Gadget Viewer will rotate it automatically when necessary so you can see the image properly. In case you want to disable this feature simply go to the program's Settings dialog.
  • Sorting image files: By default, image files are sorted by name in ascending order. The program now offers two additional types of sorting, one based on image file creation date and the other based on image file size. Make your choice for sorting image files in the Help and Settings menu and to switch to descending order simply repeat the same selection. You can always check which sorting type is currently active in the program's status bar.
  • Miscellaneous: The program works with JPG images even quicker than before. Status bar shows image file name, its dimensions and file size. Drag & drop now works both ways so you can drag an image from the viewer and drop it into some other program.
