QuickOpener

QuickOpener is a windows utility that find and open files and folders quickly. Usually, the user will spend much time to find and open a file or a folder, and will spend the same time next time. Is there any way to find and open the same files or folders quickly every time? One usual way is to create a shortcut to the desktop, but it is not convenient, and the desktop will be muddled and crowded, you have to spend more time to cleanup the desktop regularly. QuickOpener will help you to solve the problem. QuickOpener allow the user add the files or folders to the list, and will keep them next time, even you close or restart the PC. The user only need to drag the files to the QuickOpener once, then he will be able to find the files in the software any time, not need to search them any more. Now just double click the file to open it. One more function, the QuickOpener provides a suspended window on the desktop. The user can switch the main interface to suspended window conveniently, then he will be able to add a file at any time. All the added files in the list will be sorted automatically, so the user will be able to find the needed file in the list quickly. In fact, the user also be able to remove the files that not needed any moreQuickViewer is a portable image viewer which shows and navigates pictures with the maximum possible speed.

Supported formats include JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, TGA, ICO, WEBP, DDS and assorted RAW types.

The program can read archives directly, including ZIP, 7Z and RAR. There’s also support for reading the comic book archives CBR and CBZ, as well as a spread viewing feature (two images at once) for the best comic-reading experience.

There are simple zoom and rotate tools, you can copy images to the clipboard, send them by email or dispatch them to the Recycle Bin.

Navigation tools include Forward/ Back, fast forward and back (jump ten images instead of one), and First/ Last. You can also display a very basic folder tree to help you move from one folder to another.

Apparently the program can create Catalogs of many thousands of images, and search them with auto-generated tags. But when we tried this the program repeatedly added multiple copies of the same images, making it less than useful. Maybe you’ll be luckier.

QuickViewer does deliver in the performance department, thanks to optimisations like reading images ahead of time and making smart use of OpenGL. We tried browsing a folder of 385 images at full screen using three viewers. The regular Windows Photos app took 98 seconds to navigate the full set; IrfanView cut this to 32 seconds, but QuickViewer came top in only 17 seconds.

What’s new in 1.1.8 (see release notes for more)?
