OK, I was not aware of that. I did download it yesterday and it is a great program, I have been using it for years.

Thanks for heads up!

I wondered when there would be an update!

Oooh, a facelift. Ugly icons, but still :p

What's the significance of the squashed red cat icon? :ermm:

What's the significance of the squashed red cat icon? :ermm:

The IrfanView logo and mascot is a flattened roadkill cat. The 16px icon has tire tread marks across the caricature; the 32px icon is this "non tire tread" version; and the 48px icon has a gradient across the cat's body. The author of the software does stress, however, that he bears no ill will towards cats. In fact, the IrfanView website pictures him holding a cat.

Odd. Anyway, this shows the developer, I guess he likes cats after all?

[Genius]

The one thing I miss which you don't seem to be able to change is the hand. I'm sure Irfanview used to have a hand tool you could drag around the canvas with, now I just get a selection rectangle.
