  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've long preferred ACDSee in Windows for image viewing, chiefly due to one simple feature: open up one image, and the program automatically queues all the images in the same folder for viewing. Since I've switched to OS X, I've found that this is the one singular feature that I have yet to find in any image viewer for OS X. Well... that is until now. ImageReel offers this option (it's about time someone did!) and has a few other desirable options, like auto-scaling images to fit the window. It is lacking in other features though, like a browser mode, display of the image properties in a "status bar" at the bottom of the window, and the ability to set the current image as the wallpaper. You can easily delete an image from the queue by pressing the delete key, but sending an image to the trash bin requires a 3-key press. I'd prefer to do that with a single key press... perhaps a future version could include the ability to map keys to one's liking? At any rate, it's great to see that someone finally introduced this one particular feature that no one else had yet to do, but it's too lacking in other desirable features at this time. Since this seems to be early in the product's development, I'm hopeful that it will catch up soon. Oh yes... it did crash on me once.. I wasn't too crazy about that.
