High-performance, sub-10 MB portable image viewer for Windows. Built with native C++ and Win32 APIs for maximum efficiency. Features modern format support (WebP, JPEG XL), self-healing registry integration, and a zero-magic, imperative architecture. The lightweight, hardware-aware alternative to bloated legacy viewers. - icyhoty2k/QuickImageViewer
As someone who lives in image folders for work, a folder preview pane with thumbnail caching would be amazing. Right now I jump back to Explorer to scan through files, which kind of breaks the flow. A simple side panel showing neighboring images in the same directory, maybe with arrow key navigation, would make this my go-to viewer instead of just my backup tool.
sub-10mb for windows with native formats like webp and jpeg xl, that's genuinely impressive. the startup is instant compared to my usual viewer
sub-10 mb portable is genuinely impressive for native c++ these days, most viewers ship with a whole runtime stuffed in. love that it just works without an installer too
Honestly impressed how fast it opens even huge JXLs, and the portable setup is a nice touch for keeping my system registry clean.
