i hate when an app dies in beta stage.

gBrowser seems to be having particular trouble with remembering/saving preferences in Lion - this appears to be related to the new Versions features. Given that much of the basic code and structure of gBrowser is over a decade old at this point, I've decided to give gBrowser a full, modern rewrite from the ground up. (The only downside for some of you is this rewritten version will require OS X 10.7 or later.)
The rewrite began about a month ago, and I might be a quarter of the way through it, code-wise (time-wise it is hard to say, as the final ETA depends on when I have free time).
Upgrades to the new (3.0) version will be free for registered users of previous versions.
Some features may change, some may fall to the wayside, and some new features may emerge, but I hope to make it even more useful to all of you! Keep an eye out for new betas in the coming months, I always value user input.

gbrowser is a very powerful and flexible file browser, not only image browser.
you can make and save individual collections, each one with its own settings and launch them like you launch an app.
for movies you can have bigger thumbs to show the cover and movie frame preview, for photos and music smaller thumbs, show folders and files or just folders in the sidebar, show/hide filenames under the thumbs, image metadata info, super flexible hotkey support (if you map them with 'mira' or 'remote buddy', you can navigate the whole gbrowser with your remote) and all of this, *respecting your folder hierarchy*.
when did metadata and tags come to replace a carefully constructed and organized folder hierarchy?
as a note to many devs: stop trying to organize and move my files into libraries! you are not smarter than me! good grief!
either way, it's really very flexible and its slideshow features are something i always wanted and never saw before in another app: play a slideshow folder-recursively in one of a three way shuffle mode: random folders with sequential images, sequential folders with random images or random folders with random images.
...
schwarz, finish your latest project soon and fix the 'start slideshow on selected folder and subfolders' shortcut that doesn't stick, pretty please!
yeah it's me, damazio.

it isn't also really customisable. I was really hoping in this app. Since I've moved to Mac (about 4 year ago) i still cant find proper replacement for windows's ACDsee Classic 2.4. it was very fast, verty simple, customisable with the best browsing/ viewing experiance. I am not talking abou ale the superhiper Acdseepro ect. the classic 2.4 is still what I am looking for. any ideas?

In particular, though, I also like the responsiveness of the developer. There were a few features in gBrowser which, in retrospect, should have been obvious to me if I'd simply taken a few moments to look carefully at the preferences. Instead, I wrote to the developer to ask for help for how to work a few bells and whistles. Rather than chastising me, as some developers have, he took the time to walk me through the processes. (I once wrote to a developer about a sound editing program and asked how to do something. All he wrote to me was, "tinker with it, and you'll figure it out." I never did figure it out. That developer treated me more like an annoyance than a customer. So good customer service means a lot to me.)
I recommend that you at least give gBrowser a spin. I think the price is modest for the features and the support. And the developer seems very open to suggestions.

I must definitely get used to the Windows-ish (now Mac-ish too) way to navigate through the HDs.

1. I regret that adding the Coverflow option is not planned in the near future. Indeed, I have become so used to CoverFlow's smoothness and rapidity, and I find it so free and pleasant, that I can no longer bear discrete image shows.
2. To clarify the issue with folder moves : I could not directly open an image folder from gBrowser. I could only drag its icon from its location into the gBrowser window. Then, the folder is automatically displaced from its initial location into the User's "Image" Folder as Apple calls it.

To open a folder in a new window from the Finder just drop it onto the gBrowser icon. To navigate in the Sidebar in a window you already have open, double-click a folder to go deeper, or use the popup at the top to navigate back toward the top level of your drives. You can add frequently-used folders to the Bookmarks popup menu for quicker navigation. Also, see the Navigation menu in the main menu for more useful shortcuts.

HOWEVER, it has apparently the same defect as iPhoto and other tyrannic Apple apps: when a folder is selected it is automatically/definitively displaced to the Image Folder of the User Folder.

As CoverFlow is a pleasant alternative to slideshows and static views and CoverFlow is fully implemented in MacOs 10.5. it should be found in any convenient image viewer.
Can you clarify what you mean when you say "when a folder is selected it is automatically/definitively displaced to the Image Folder of the User Folder"? gBrowser does not move your folders or files anywhere.
