Notes

The filetypes that can be displayed by GQView and Kuickshow depend on the image-processing libraries (libjpeg, libpng, etc.) installed on the operating system.; Prices will vary over time, and between suppliers, and are for approximate indication only; PicaJet has the ability to save categories, categories structure and description directly to the files (IPTC/XMP). Supports for dcRAW library, so supports almost all the Camera RAW formats.; iPhoto is part of iLife, which includes a DVD authoring package (iDVD), a video editor (iMovie), a music player (iTunes), a multimedia web publisher (iWeb), and an audio-sequencing program (GarageBand); ACDSee supports 61 various image formats and writes to 16. Reads 9 compression formats and writes to 2. Also ACDSee supports 33 Video Formats (Reads); FastPictureViewer's DirectX hardware acceleration support depends on the actual video card installed and the amount of available video memory. The commercial version also supports previewing some camera RAW formats for which a WIC-enabled codec exists. Such RAW codecs are currently available from Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Sony and for Adobe DNG but the actual list supported by the viewer currently only includes Nikon NEF, Canon CR2 and Adobe DNG.; Konvertor supports 1401 various image, audio and video formats and writes to 170. Reads 19 compression formats and writes to 7.; Picasa has an experimental GNU/Linux version that runs under WINE.; Plumeria Image sorter runs under WINE.; A large majority of Windows based image viewers do not have Unicode support. Some exceptions that do work with Unicode include ExifPro, FastPictureViewer and Ashampoo Photo Commander.; SView5 exists as full-featured tool for AmigaOS/MorphOS and there is a limited (developers) toolkit for Linux/Windows. If you want to run it under Windows the way to go is using an Amiga emulator like WinUAE/AmigaForever/AmiKit.; MangaMeeya development has been discontinued; the last release (English) is 2.4Beta. There are a few bugs in the program (beta), but most people are unlikely to ever encounter them.;
