Publisher's Description
From immaterial:
gBrowser is an image browser and organizer with no annoying databases or hidden libraries. What you see in the Finder is what you see in gBrowser - except gBrowser presents you with large, beautiful thumbnails and gives you the tools to easily view and organize your images. It includes a thumbnail browser, "Drop Locations" and file marking tools to make sorting out and moving your images a snap, a powerful batch rename function with the ability to save presets, the "Image Viewer" which works much like Quicklook on single monitors, but is even more useful when opened permanently on a secondary monitor, Bookmarks for your different photo collections, free and friendly tech support, and more.
What's new in this version:
- More efficiency improvements in file loading and tracking which should further speed up loading and display of folder contents.
- Minor bug fixes.

"Great image browser, simple and versatile"
Version: gBrowser 2.0b6
Pros
Browses Finder folders directly (no need to import).
Generates thumbnails quickly.
Lots of sort options.
Displays images with transparency correctly.
Customizeable background color.
Can move, rename, and delete files and folders directly in gBrowser.Cons
Nothing. (There was one sort option I felt was missing, but the developer added it in when asked.)
Summary
gBrowser is a fast, simple, and versatile image browser. Things I like about it:
Views images directly from the Finder without importing them into a database (like iPhoto). Changes you make in the Finder show up immediately in gBrowser. You can also perform Finder actions in gBrowser, including moving, renaming, and deleting files and folders.
You can bookmark your favorite Finder folders. There is also a separate free add-in that puts a "Browse Images" link in the Finder sidebar to quickly open the currently viewed folder.
Thumbnails are generated quickly. I review folders with hundreds or even thousands of images, and the thumbnails are available in just a few seconds. Like iPhoto, there is a slider to quickly adjust the size of the thumbnails.
There are a ton of sort options, including name, date (mod, created, or EXIF taken), megapixels, image height or width, file size, kind, resolution, and more. Any sort can be done in ascending or descending order.
Textures with transparency display correctly. Other image browsers I've tried either showed a corrupted image or subsituted a color for the transparency instead of letting the background show through. (Even iPhoto doesn't display transparency in thumbnails.) You can also opt to have the images cast a shadow, and the shadow correctly follows the edges of the transparency... a huge help when an image closely matches the browser's background color.
The background color can be changed to suit your needs. Different colors can be used for the thumbnail browser, the image view, and slideshows.
You can select what text information displays below the thumbnail, including name, dimensions, file size, date, kind, and more. The font can be adjusted to suit your needs.
Hotkeys for easy keyboard navigation.
Easy to view individual images. Double-click to open image in a separate window, or in a separate image viewer of your choice. There is also a full-screen image viewer and a slideshow option.
And best of all, the developer is very responsive. There was a sort option I wanted that wasn't available, and he issued an update with it the day after I made the suggestion. -
"I so wish this was still in development"
Version: gBrowser 1.5b22
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This was a great product that seems to have been left to die. Two years later I still haven't seen anything better, and it's a shame the developer is MIA.
