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, using the uncompression engine from
The Unarchiver. 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.
- Effortlessly copy, move, rename and delete of images while viewing.
- 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.
- View more EXIF data for JPEG files than Preview, and also other kinds of
metadata, like XMP or IPTC. It can even try to identify what program or
camera created a JPEG file by analyzing its quantization tables.
- Extract bitmap images from inside PDF and SWF files. Many PDF files contain
scanned pages in bitmap form, and Xee can read these and show them as
bitmap image, and even save them. The same goes for bitmap images inside
SWF files.
- View images in full-screen.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.1.1:
- Added a Spanish localization by miliuconet.
- Fixed another slowdown in the directory scanning code. Should be
even faster now.
- Fixed some bugs that caused crashes when reading JPEG metadata.
- Some other minor bugfixes.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

RORO01 A VERY ANNOYING PROBLEM WITH THE RENAMING FUNCTION For example, if you browse 200 images and got to a photo whose name start with "T" and you give it a new name starting with "A", the application will take you right to the beginning. Then, you will have to go forward by one picture at a time until getting to where you were before.

CHINESE_YS Why the print feature is not included? I do not think no one wants to use Xee to print and I would thing print function is pretty much the basic one. I just can not figure out why it is not there. Anyone can help?

TUBO This is a very fast and convenient viewer. Very well done - I don't know if this app does all what you need, but everybody should try it. And - did you look for the capability of '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.'?? Yes - it is from the description of this program. And it's FAST. Do this with GraphicConverter. 1000 photos to turn 90 degrees counterclockwise? You'll die before... Thank you VERY much.

KALUNLAU Would love to use this as my main image viewer due to it's speed, but the lack of colour profile support kills it for me.

THUS.SPAKE.Z Xee is an admirable little image viewing app....so is JustLooking; I use both, each have their own strong points. But then, I have to say, Preview is no slouch either; it does quite a respectable job of viewing both pics AND PDFs. Niether Xee or JustLooking can handle PDFs. For PDFs the oustanding 'Skim' is the way to go, it's far slicker than Adobe Reader I think.

THUS.SPAKE.Z Preview a horrible PDF viewer? How so? Preview is quite adequate for all practical purposes, IMO.

DR.APP I can't say for Snow Leopard but at least up to Leopard, Xee feels actually faster than Preview in rendering the pics and, most importantly to me, I CAN CONTROL THE ANTIALIASING. If you use Preview for serious pictures there's no way to tell if something is sharp or not.

PIXIEMOTION You seriously read PDF's in Preview? Preview is a horrible PDF reader... I wouldn't be able to survive a mac if it weren't for Skim...

VECTORPANDA just as i gave 5 stars to the dev's other app (the unarchiver), i'll give 5 stars to this one. blazing fast, tonnes of customisable keyboard shortcuts, and ACTUALLY PLAYS ANIMATED GIF89a, unlike preview. if the printing/PDF thing bothers you, just use mac finder to associate PDFs wtih preview.app, and everything else with xee.
