XY and FastPictureViewer

[klownboy]

Don and others, I thought you might find this capture interesting. It's from the options in FastPictureViewer. You see how they handled the issue you had just awhile back concerning file deletion confirmation and the recycle bin along with the concern over removable media.

I purchased the codec pack the other day since I was tired of not seeing Fugi raw file (RAF) thumbnails in XYplorer. As it turned out, they now have a sale going on for the FastPictureViewerCodec Pack and the FastPictureViewer individually or as a combo.

Not sure what issue you mean. You have a link to the thread?

[klownboy]

Wow, your memory is about as good as mine... "Prompt before shift delete" in late September and early October... http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... ecycle+bin

Sure I remember that one. It meant lots of wasted time for me. I just want to make clear: there is no issue currently with deletion.

[klownboy]

No issues in the way it was handled then or currently. I just thought it was interesting, the way they handled the issue...very wordy but probably necessary explanation.

1. Is FastPictureViewer a 64-bit app?
2. How does it work in XY thumbnail view?
3. Do you use its GPS time stamp feature?
4. Can it stamp the GPS geolocation to the images in XY?
5. How is its thumbnail display performance for 10,000+ images?
6. Does XY cache the thumbnails produced by FastPictureViewer?
Thanks Ken.

Hey armsys,
I've only purchased and installed both the FastPictureViewer and the FastPictureViewerCodecPack and couple of days ago so I can't tell you much I'm afraid. You can use a full-featured trial version free of charge for 14 days before you decide to buy.
1. Yes, it has 32 and 64 bit separate downloads.
2. It seems to work fine with XY thumbs or I definitely wouldn't have purchased it. I now have thumbs for my Fugi RAF images. I'm experiencing no speed issue with thumbnail displays in XY.
3. No I don't use the GPS feature since my current cameras don't have it.
4. I'm quite sure it will do everything you want concerning GPS. Please take a look at http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/faq/and http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/help/ Tons of on-line info there.
5. I don't have 10,000 image in any particular folder, but I haven't noticed any speed issues with what I do have. By the way, only the beta version 2 does thumbnails within FastPictureViewer though it does display a horizontal thumbnail scrollbar up on top of the screen of the images in the folder if you bring your mouse to the top of the screen. I only downloaded the current up-to-date 1.9 version. When I referring to thumbnails I was referring to XYs.
6. XY seems to work just fine with FastPictureViewerCodecPack as far as thumbnail display.

It's also is suppose to work well with Adobe Lightroom which I don't have (yet). Please take a look at the sites I provided above. They seem to be quite good.

Thanks for your valuable info. You must be a National Geographic photographer.

That's funny, far from it. I like taking pictures and I'd like to take even better pictures.
