Indispensable
wookiewo- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />ViewIt has served me well for over a year now. When compared dozens of other viewer seems to lack some minor features but its speed and ease of use is just amazing. It doesn't matter if I need to scan one folder or a directory tree, I can start browsing images as soon as I drop a folder of programs icon or window. Recent upgrade fixes really annoying problem with program stability. Highly recommended application.
Very decent piece of app

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />As simple as it gets! ViewIt contains the exact set of features that is needed for image set to be reorganized. iGreg, just drag&drop a folder onto ViewIt. To start a slide show, just press the space bar. It is as easy to reorganize or located wanted images as to view them. The program does not store images anywhere - it is an image viewer, isn't it?
Confusing.

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Confusing features. I can not figure out what Viewit does with image files. I "Add iPhoto Album" but were are the files from iPhoto? Where does Viewit store its image files? Is it making duplicates of my iPhoto files? If so, were is it putting them? The logical place to look is the ViewIt folder in Pictures folder, yet no files are there. So far Viewit is not meeting my need of a simple image viewer.
very memory hungry and crashing
koendp- Pros

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />After having a ppc license for this program I have to admit that it's a very good one exept that it crashes very often on a big list of files. Also the it's very memory hungry so once you get over a certain amount of files (>1000) it's crashes too often, I blame it on a bad memory management. Had this on different computers so it's probably not only me. 3 stars for a good idea, 1 star for the rest...
Excellent app
Robinxoog- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is a tremendously flexible application that does pretty much everything I ask of it quickly and easily. The developer is also very responsive to e-mails. The registration process can be a bit flaky, but basically it does work, and if you save the registration key file, it does make it easier if you have any hassles down the road. $20 seems quite reasonable to me - there's clearly been a lot of work gone into this, and no sign of slowing down.
Excellent..for photographers. How about video?

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've been using this app for almost two years now. It has grown into one of the most useful digital imaging utlilties I have. It is simple and stright forward, as well as pretty fast. However, this app still desparately needs ONE MORE feature - the ability vary thumbnails image sizes. I am surprised more people haven't begged the developer for this? And this brings me to a major point. How about us video guys?! A very useful thing would be a simple and modifiable cropping ruler\\guides settings for displaying (and cropping) video frames. Some basic SD and HDV standard frame sizes would be nifty, like 640x480 (perhaps also 648x486), 720x480, 1980x1080, etc... Adding the capabilities for previewing animation would allow us to use this app for previewing time-lapse, stop-motion animation, etc. All we'd need is a fast\\robust RAM preview, like After Effects. This would bypass the need to set up an AE project in order to see the result of multiple frames as an animation. ViewIt! would then be more useful for those moving into dynamic media. Certainly this can be crudely accomplished now by scrubbing the preview slider back and forth in the normal view mode, but with the addition of a RAM Preview (or at leat the ability to use a RAM Caching option for the same purpose) movie previews could be automated as well. Hey...you might even be able to call it "Pro" and charge some additional money to recoup your work! I'd pay!
Excellent maintenance relase
Hangnail--2008- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Viewit had occasionally crashed under 'heavy' use. I could never re-create the issue. In addition 'shift selecting' of images often was frustrating in which you had to do it several times for it to take. This relase seems to fix this and is an excellent relase for general use. If you have a good graphics program to edit images, Viewit makes a great addition as its keyboard-driven workflow makes it easy to select images you want and do general mainpulations ont them as well as pass them to other editing applications. Would like to be able to be prompted when moving files for replacing duplictes. Currently it just doesn't move them.
Brilliant

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />ViewIt is exactly what I've been looking for in an thumbnailed image viewer for OS X. It's fast, stable, and simple to use, but includes plenty of advanced features. Perfect!
Great Viewer App

Excellent picture viewing app
sprev- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Great picture viewer, Only one downside: I'd like to have the thumbnail view as a window (not full screen), but when I double click on an image in the thumbnail window for it to automatically open it as full screen. This is the most common way in which I view images: I have the thumbnailed view as a window, so I can move stuff to it from the rest of the desktop, but when I double click on an image I want to see that image full screen. At the moment, I have to do this by switching to and from the full screen view by pressing command-F, and I invariably forget to do it---ending up with full-screen thumbnails or a tiny widowed picture. It would be really for ViewIt to have the option to have this behaviour, as it seems a senisble way for a image viewer to behave.
