TOMDOHERTY  My work is in design, print, publishing, photography and media.. Hence, I receive hundreds of photos every week from press photographers etc. The time it takes to save all these and then open them all in Photoshop - just to read the embedded captions - is unreal. I've been searching for an app which would allow me to view full metadata quickly without having to run PS for a long time now ...and I've just found it. Well done to developer. Keep up the good work.

Another thing about this software is that you can cut and paste images between folders! Amazing!

YEUPY  I've been searching for the right software to view and organise images for a long time. And none of mac software could fit all of that needs except this one and I find it hard to believe that it's free.

RICHARD TAYTOR  I just dragged a folder of images to its window (intending to view the images therein) but instead, it moved (not copied) the folder to a different volume (the same as that displayed in its file list), but this behaviour is certainly unexpected and unwanted, and it leaves me looking elsewhere.

FREEMAN O'SHEA  Fantastic,

If this app had i-app integration (imovie, itunes etc.) it would replace iphoto, it has already replaced Adobe Bridge on my G4.

PAUL  It would be very nice if this program respected the thumbnail images already created by your other program, CocoThumbX, instead of doing a lengthy operation of scanning them in, and then changing them to its standards.

OPEF  Finaly the FIRST FREE cocoa native application dedicated to an image viewer on Mac OS X! Does it so difficult to build on cocoa native C? Anyway, this is the first one and i appreciate the work done on it. Needs some improvements but good job! Fine ;)

ANONYMOUS  Hmm? Nothing against CocoView, but I've been using the free ToyViewer for over a couple of years now, and it's also Cocoa, as far as I've seen.

ANONYMOUS  I am not blaming anyone or anything. There are other image viewing apps that are available and free and I will look there in the future. There are others that support viewing Canon RAW files. This is not the only game in town. ::cough:: PhotoReviewer ::cough::. I have no problem paying for requested features. I guess my constructive criticism was taken as an attack. That was not my intention, but the app is still lacking in features. I will not get into them here because the defensive developer might get upset.

That being said I truly appreciate his work on an app that he releases for free to a great community of people. For most people this image viewer is fine. Just not for me.

SVEN JANSSEN  well PhotoReviewer is NOT free.

And its kind of funny, that people comparing CVX with iPhoto, GC, PhotoReviewer.

Its key features are all different.

Image management, manipulation, viewing, browsing (CVX)

But I cannot make it quite for all.

But to blame something for non RAW Format Supporting is pretty senseless.

SVEN JANSSEN  i will not Support RAW files format because there is no standard.

Use the application from the camera manufactor or buy a application who does support raw files.

and it kind of funny to blaim a freeware application because it does not support raw files.

ANONYMOUS  Does it let you view CBZ and CBR files?

If not ComicBookViewerAlphaA2, FFview or Jomic is the way to go. These all have the ability to browse pictures inside archives (.rar/.cbr, .zip/.cbz) if they're the right format of picture file ;)

ANONYMOUS  This is a very nice-looking and well developed application. It has some nice navigational features and is coming along well between versions. If you're looking for an image viewer, give this one a try. My only non-positive comment is that I've used versions 0.7, 0.8, and 0.81 and they've all been a little sluggish on an iBook G3/500 - 640MB RAM. Flipping between photos in the larger view and the drop down sheet of preferences are a bit slower than expected. I tried all of the hints to speed things up by changing anti-aliasing and thumbnail settings - but not major change. Version 0.81 is a little faster (and has some neat new features) and maybe some optimizations in later versions will speed things up. I've tried other similar apps that did not have this lag. Keep up the good work and I'll keep trying the newer builds.

SVEN JANSSEN  interesting comment.

What do you mean with a "folder of thumbnails on screen". i guess you mean what iPhoto or Xsee does. Well CocoViewX is different, when you need this, try another ( so every other ) image application. i dont want to create the xx application witch has the same feature.

But again its funny to see, that the people who write negative comment are always Anonymous.

If you want to use this application and you miss a feature ... email me your thoughts and maybe i include them into this application.

But this comment neither help me or you.

ANONYMOUS  What I meant was like ViewIt does, you can drag a folder onto it and it shows a window full of thumbnails. This is really handy.

I thought this is what CocoViewX did. It doesn't. Ok I shouldn't have said it's of no use, because maybe I don't understand what it does do properly. It seems to be an image browser is that correct ? Maybe I should have said it's of no use to me personally. So I am sorry for that.

But while we are on the subject I don't like seeing a 'delete' button in any app that I use, especially with no explanation if it is going to move it to the trash or rm it without prompt.

SVEN JANSSEN  Yes CocoViewX is the missing image browser for all switcher from Windows.

Because there is/was no other (good) Image browser on Mac OS X.

Its like ACDSee or Irfanview on Windows.

I don't wont to add your thumbnail view like ViewIt , XSee, FinderView and so on. You see why ... there are already applications who does this.

And to your delete button.

Take a look at the preferences.

You can choose to delete or move the files to trash. With and without a prompt.

Regards

ANONYMOUS  Very good app. This is extremely snappy, great for sorting through directories of pictures and resizing pictures for posting to the web or emailing. And it's free! This saves me the hassle of waiting on iPhoto to do a few simple image resizes, excellent.

ANONYMOUS  No i do need some only 10.3 thinks and i do not want to pass for something. So i decided that CocoViewX only runs below 10.3.

to the comment to the other Anonymous (nobody has a name here?, or afraid to be hacked? *gg*).

Take a look into the preferences and you will see that you can switch between brushed metal and classic look. So where is your problem?
