"Natural" viewer for .jpg files?

[Guest RichardOnRails]

Hi,

 

I recently install Nero 7 and foolishly allowed the installer to reset

all relevant extensions to its utilities. I just realized the error

of my ways when I double-clicked the name of a .jpg file in Windows

Explorer.

 

I remapped that extension to Windows Media Player (because that's all

I could think of), and it displayed the icon satisfactorily, but

surrounded with it a slew of stuff irrelevant to my little icon.

 

Somehow, double-clicking used to open a window sized exactly to the

icon's content. What viewer in WinXP/SP2 which does that?

 

I'll post a message to Nero on how to undo all those installation

settings, but it'll take a week or so before I get a reply. I'd like

to solve this sooner.

 

Thanks in Advance,

Richard

You can install IrfanView (http://irfanview.com). That is a better

viewer than the Windows viewer.

If it were me...I'd *uninstall* Nero...then go to control panel, folder

options, file types...find jpeg. jpg, jpe, highlight...then change what

program you want to open it (I use Windows Picture and Fax) another poster

has given you their choice. *Then* I'd re-install Nero for whatever reason

you wanted to use it for except this time don't allow the installer certain

permissions.

Hi Hans,

 

Thanks for your response. IrfanView is indeed a nice viewer. In my

search, I have looked at:

 

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer

M/S Office Picture Manager

Internet Explorer => Windows Picture and Fax Viewer

mspaint.exe

 

and a number of others I had found on the Web.

 

But what I really want -- and used to have unless I'm hallucinating,

which is not impossible for a septuagenarian :-) -- is a viewer that

opens, centers and populates a window which is sized precisely for and

presents the large image embedded in a JPeg without any other frills.

 

This is no big deal. I'm just displaced that my system doesn't work

the way I want it to. And if I don't find a viewer with the desired

behavior, I think I'll take a look a the JPEG standard a write one in

C and the WinAPI. Actually, I'll come up to speed on FxRuby for that

purpose. That'd be fun.

 

Again, thanks for your reply,

und guten tag aus die Vereinigte Staaten (I had to look up the

spelling of the last two),

Richard

The default viewer is Windows Fax & Image Viewer.

Thanks for the suggestion. I installed or found WP&F and, without

having to uninstall Nero, pointed the jpg extension to it. As I said

at greater length in reply to the previous responder, it's not what

I'd like to find.

 

Best wishes,

Hi Jim and Karl,

 

I'm trying to find a viewer that will dislay JPEGs (and maybe GIFs and

other image forms) in a window sized to the exact pixel dimension of

the image. All the ones I've tried recently have embedded the image

in a much larger window with menus, toolbars, etc. I may have to

write my own using C and the WinAPI or maybe a dynamic HTML script,

but I like to avoid the work.

 

Hopefully, someone will post a location where I can find the utility

I thought I once had.

 

Regards,

Richard

Re: "Natural" viewer for .jpg files?

 

Richard,

If you use google's search feature and search on JPEG viewer, do any of the

listings look familiar or desirable?

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer will size the image to your screen, but

a simple click will show it full sized.

Re: "Natural" viewer for .jpg files?

 

If you right click a file and choose "open with...", one of the ones listed

will (should) be the one you were using. Try each one in turn, then set the

one you want as default.

Re: "Natural" viewer for .jpg files?

 

Try the FREE FastStone image viewer.

 

Opens a jpg into full screen mode.

 

Has a neat little Zoom tool. Just left-click on image to Zoom

 

Right-click to get menus if you want them.

Hi Gord,

 

That's almost exactly what I want. I'd like to omit the creation of

the background, i.e. just center the image on the topmost window,

with DnD capability. Maybe that's too much to ask for, so may have

to roll my own.

 

But the viewer's got lots of options that I haven't looked at yet, so

I'm optimistic that it will be perfect for my purposes.

 

Thank you very much for posting a link to it.

 

Best wishes,

Richard

Hi Uncle,

> a simple click will show it full sized.

 

Thanks for that. But I want the the viewer to shrink to the exact

dimensions of the JPEG (thus hiding its caption, menu bar, etc.),

not blow up the JPEG to the client area of the viewer. I'm checking

out Gord's suggestion of FastStone Image Viewer.

Hi Daave,

 

It looks perfect. I only looked at it for a minute, but I'll check

it out more thoroughly tomorrow. But I'm very optimistic!!

Hey Daave,

 

vjpeg worked great!! Just one curiosity: The site for downloading it

indicated that version 2 handled JPG, BMP, and GIF ... But the

installed version doesn't handle GIFs. I checked the version of the

exe, which Windows Explorer reported as 1.0.0.1. So it seems clear

that we've got ver. 1.

 

No big deal. I rarely come across gif's nowadays. And we've got

other viewers. But I have plenty of occasions to view jpg's, so this

viewer is perfect in my eyes.

 

Best wishes,

Richard

No doubt you meant I should email Michael, which I did as indicated

below. I'll post if anything interesting is learned.

Hi Michael,

 

Thanks for posting your vjpeg viewer. I just downloaded it and "took

it out for a spin." It works great!!

 

Just one curiosity: The site for downloading it indicated that

version 2 handled JPG, BMP, and GIF ...

 

But the installed version doesn't handle GIFs. I checked the version

of the exe, which Windows Explorer reported as 1.0.0.1. So it seems

clear that I've got ver. 1. I wonder if ver. 2 is published, and if

so, where?

 

No big deal. I rarely come across gif's nowadays, and I've got other

viewer is perfect in my eyes.

Sorry, Richard. Yes, I meant you should shoot Michael an e-mail. Thanks

for the follow-up, and I hope you get a satisfactory answer.
