Opera as a photo viewer
ffss
that is obtainable with a mousewheel. But what we need is the ability to
move forward to the next photo once the first one is open. Is this
somehow possible? Control_Right Arrow doesn't work. I tried highlighting
several photos and right clicked, Open With Opera....but it only opens one
of them.
Just tried setting Opera as the default program for .jpg files and now
things are better. When I highlight several files they all open though
its very resource demanding on the system. With about 50 photos opening
(each one about 2-3mb) memory usage is about 800,000k. So one can only
open a few at a time. So back to the first request - How to get Opera to
open the next file in the folder so its not such so demanding on resources.
What makes Opera special are the Fit to Width and Full Screen options. If
they could only add a Fit to Height option as well it would be awesome.
When you use Fit to Width the mousewheel scrolls vertically. When you use
Fit to Height the mousewheel could scroll horizontally. When you need
more detail you just use Control_Mousewheel and zoom in and out.

Hi ffss
I'd also say IrfanView and it free
http://www.irfanview.net/
remember to get the plugins as well then You can
open almost any file.
Use space-bar to next picture
Use Backspace to previous
in full screen
Use Right Mouse to next picture
Use Left Mouse to previous
Best regards

Let Opera see the directory contents first. Then fast-forward will take
you through all the files.
Open a file in the target folder and then use Ctrl+Backspace to go to the
root of the folder, which when loading a local folder will make Opera
generate a list of files.
Now use the fast-forward buttons or hotkeys to cycle through the images.
Eventually you'll come back to the folder listing.

I think there's a user Javascript for that, but I can't remember who hosts
it. Anyone?

I just went looking and found it yesterday to fix the previous version
that worked in 10.10.

I say XnView is the best photo viewer.
