DESCRIPTION

Xee is a lightweight, fast and convenient image viewer and browser. It is designed to be a serious tool for image viewing and management, with a sleek and powerful interface.

Xee is useful as a more powerful replacement for Preview, or most any other image viewer available on Mac OS X. It is very fast, and uses less memory than most other image viewing tools. It also uses OpenGL to display and scroll images much more smoothly than other viewers. Its interface is highly streamlined and has easily configurable keyboard shortcuts.

Xee can:

  • Display a large number of image formats - any format QuickTime or Preview can open, plus several more, including PCX, Maya IFF and Amiga IFF-ILBM.
  • Easy browse through folders of images - open any file in a folder and use the toolbar, keyboard shortcuts or mouse wheel to view the other images in the same folder.
  • Browse image inside archives, if The Unarchiver is installed. It can read almost every format The Unarchiver can, which include Zip, Rar, 7-Zip, Lzh and StuffIt. It also supports the CBZ and CBR formats, which are just renamed Zip and Rar files, respectively.
  • Losslessy rotate and crop JPEG images. This lets you edit your digital photographs without losing quality by re-compressing them like most other editors do.
  • Effortlessly copy, move, rename and delete of images while viewing.
  • View more EXIF data for JPEG files than Preview.
  • View images in full-screen.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.0:
  • Finally a universal binary!
  • However, Xee now requires Mac OS X 10.4. Users of 10.3 can still use Xee 1.2.1 (http://wakaba.c3.cx/releases/mac/old/Xee1.2.1.zip).
  • Smoother display of scaled-down images, using the graphics hardware.
  • Support for EXIF data.
  • Rotation and cropping for all image types, with lossless saving for JPEGs, even when cropped. However, JPEGs are no longer automatically saved when rotating - use the menu option or Command-S to save.
  • Tracks changes to the filesystem and updates file lists accordingly.
  • Can sort images by name, date or size, and sorts in the same order as the Finder by default.
  • Slideshow support.
  • Support for Maya IFF images.
  • Many interface tweaks.
  • Massive internal rewrites, fixing lots of bugs, and hopefully not introducing too many new ones.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

SERPHIUM  I love Xee, it does exactly what it was designed to do and it does it well.

I only have a few small issues.

1. There's no option to turn off sound effects. That delete Sfx becomes terribly annoying if you use it often.

2. It doen't remember window size.

3. It begins to slow down greatly with a lot (600+) of pictures in a single folder.   (Version 2.0)

SONGBIRD6  I tried a lot of image browsers and this became my favorite due to its simplicity and ease of use. It's all I need for an image browser. The only issue I have is, I wish when you rotate or resize a picture and return to using navigation buttons, that it would be the way you left it.  (Version 2.0)
