KAROLIS  The best image viewer for OS X and we can't download it. Great.

Just put it on any sharing site until proper host will be found.

THIRROUARD  The developper website is down... and as NONE of the websites that refer to JView actually host the HUGE 700ko file, it's now impossible to find.

Great...

MIKE666  Me like old icons better. Simple. Distinctive. Like the application itself. Otherwise, this is still the best image viewer for my money :D.

BERTOBOX  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

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

BERTOBOX  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!

ALLANLIU  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.

GUNTIS BUKALDERS  Actually Previous/Next image navigation isn't Command+,/., but Command+left arrow/right arrow.

ANONYMOUS  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.

ANONYMOUS  I wasn't that impressed. Whenever I tried to navigate to the next image there would be a long pause. Just so you know its not because of my hardware Dual G5.

I personally prefer CocoViewX. its free as well

HALLOW  not bad. Very disk intensive though where Preview is near silent.
