Love this program, upon migrating to a new mac it immediately replaces Preview as my goto image viewer.

I've been using it for years, but upon loading it onto a new Hackintosh Dell 10v i've found something thats annoying and Im not sure if its a preference I can adjust or a bug:

When I rotate an image in a folder, and then continue to scan through the folder the view stays rotated for consecutive images, even if they don't need to be rotated.

Help?

This version (or maybe the previous one, I'm not sure) seems to introduce a new bug. On my setup (MacBook Pro 13", SL 10.6.2), most images display a one-pixel-wide white stripe at the right edge, only in window mode (not fullscreen).

It doesn't happen to all the pictures. Pretty annoying though. I will look into this issue.

It's fixed. Thanks!

It's not in the documentation, but single key presses seem to do something. R(random?), U, D(delete), L, Z(zoom), C(centre window), esc(hides), [, ], -=numeric keys for zooms (without cmd). Any idea what these unknown ones do?

Oh god, I am stupid. The keys.pdf file is right there on the disk image. At ease, all.

An Intel 64 bit build is available. In case you want it, please email me at shopton@gmail.com since I don't have a server to host multiple builds.

As far as I'm concerned, you may just create single build that contains both 32 and 64 bits.

Dear Allan,
I have used JView for many many years now. IMHO it's simply the best viewer. I don't know how you do it but somehow pictures scaled up or down just look far better on screen than any other viewer I've ever tried.
However, as of now I'm still at version 1.9.5. I downloaded 2.6 but it seems it doesn't work with Tiger. What is the latest version that works with Tiger, and where could I get it?
Best regards,
ohkami

allanliu replied on 13 Sep 2009

I can email you the Tiger version of 2.6. Please let me know where to send it to you by emailing me at shopton@gmail.com.

It works way better than 'Preview'.

Me like old icons better. Simple. Distinctive. Like the application itself. Otherwise, this is still the best image viewer for my money :D.

I truly like this program, i've recommended it to all my friends with Macs. However, since installing Tiger, I notice that when i import my photos with Image Capture, and rotate them before (using Image Capture) or after importing (using Preview), JView doesn't reflect the 'virtual' rotation. :-( As it happens that many times i'll have quite a few pictures rotated, this becomes a nuisance to use. Is there a way a setting could be added in the preferences, to where we choose whether or not we want JView to 'recognize' these type of virtual rotations? I say 'virtual' because in effect, JView is actually rendering the picture correctly, i believe that Preview only makes a 'note' that it should display a certain image rotated, and thus not actually rotating it physically… Well, thanks again for a wonderful free application, i've been using it since Jaguar

Ha, I never heard of the "virtual rotation" thing, and didn't even know its existence. Thanks.

bertobox replied on 25 Jan 2006

yeah, in fact, photoshop CS is recognizing this type of annotation as well… it shows them rotated even though physically they are still in their horizontal position. I don't exactly know why, but my guess is that they do it in order to preserve the all the metadata information intact, as well as the creation date… i'd really really really really like to see it in JView!!!! :) cheers!

I haven't touched JView for a long long time. Wait until I get my MacBook, to see if I can reproduce this feature, and also fix some bugs.

bertobox replied on 25 Jan 2006

sweet! I look forward to the new JView Universal Binary then… :D ;)

The best free image viewer I have come across. It is easy to use and stable on all versions of OSX (replaced preview as my default viewer a long time ago).

The only flaws are that it needs more options on the 'zoom' pulldown menu (125%, 150%, 250%, 300%), and is sometimes a little slow browsing through large image files.
