i remember using this on my Athlon 600mhz, it was awesome, loved and still use it as a baseline for what i want in a photo management software ( no longer use the software itself as it came free with something i bought, and havent been able to find a compatible version since

Wasn't ACDSee originally a freeware piece of software back in like, 1998 or something? Then it got popular, they added stuff, made it shareware, then had an adware version etc. I could be mistaken of course since it's been like 10 freakin' years since I've used it! :D

Faststone Image viewer is great. Significantly faster than Windows Explorer at loading image thumbnails and looking at images.

It has problems though - sometimes it is very slow. Part of the problem is that it doesn't use hardware acceleration for scaling - and thus pictures that need to be scaled down load much longer. Espiecially visible when you can CPU at 25 or 50 ...

XNView looks like arse on a stick though. I thing ACDSee gets its arse handed back to it by Fastone Image Viewer. AFAIK Fastone Image viewer is dead - haven't been an update in over a year. :(

I dropped Acdsee when it went payware all those years ago. Faststone Image Viewer is what i use. What reason would i have to use Acdsee again? They might try pulling the same stunt again. When something gets good, it turns crap.

*aaachh-utorrhennt-ooo*

Sorry, got the sniffles. :(

I'd like to see this or pain.net or any other free picture app support Camera Raw so I could make the switch reliably. then I can hose paying for expensive photoshop.

Honestly, if you have a good enough camera to make use of RAW. you can afford and should afford to use Lightroom as well.

acdsee photo manager supports RAW format, this free version doesn't. Presumably there are high patent fees for adding raw support. I've used acdsee paid version for years, it is great for viewing photos. The pro version is the same as photo manager but with the ability to touch-up photos i believe, i don't need that so don't use it.

    • I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.
    • Wino Mail -> Microsoft Outlook (the new one). Link: https://github.com/bkaankose/Wino-Mail Just sayin.
    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
