I grabbed this a couple of days ago from the Github page. Forgot to mention it.

I normally Use Kobe, but I might give Moon a try.

johnlgalt · Nov 13, 2023

Moon is slick. But the .Net 8 version requires the WedDev installer for Edge background stuff (not really a problem, most Windows 11 installations will (probably) have this anyway).

WebView2 is required to view SVG formats.

I've used ImageGlass and IrfanView side by side, and it seems that IFview is still subjectively slightly faster. I've decided to keep both of them around, though, because both are phenomenal programs.

I've been using Irfanview for several years.

I still use it - but ImageGlass is slowly winning me over in terms of a beautiful modern interface.

It is gorgeous and supports just about any file but, it's too buggy and slow!
I'll keep ShareX as my default viewer for now.
Bit of a side-step to get ShareX as default, though!

Edwin · Nov 14, 2023

I wonder if it's sluggish cuz it's portable?

It should have Startup integration.

Anyway, it handles .jxl and .webp fine, which is all you seen to get from Google Images these days!

Did you notice it doesn't work on W10, that is to say, the Mica/Acrylic stuff!

So, you use ShareX as your default image viewer? I didn't think of it as an image viewer.

Yes. ShareX has a floating, full screen viewer utility built in, somewhere in the woodwork, much like Picasa had..., and quite a nice one at that!

It's a bit of a booger to get it to be your default, though!

Here's how to make ShareX your default viewer:

ShareX - How Do I Do That?

Shraex 15.0 and shows up to date. Is this Off in Settings?

I still like XnView.

Nice little feature..., check the Album Art in your music folders, for instance...

Renders many RAW images quite well, (others not so well)

@Edwin
I'm currently using ImageGlass Kobe, is it worth updating to the latest RC build ?

Meh..., you can try it out, it's portable anyway...,
it's got a few cool features plus some nice eye candy...

I can't get the exif tool to work in it though!
