	Maybe I missed something with Irfanview. I found a way to print
a sheet of thumbnails (which ACDSee also does), but I couldn't find a
way to just browse through all the images in a given folder with a
full-size or auto-fit display of the graphic in a pane of Irfanview.
ACDSee (at least versions 5 and later) does this in a way that allows
you to have displayed in one pane all the file properties for all the
images in a folder, and then as you select a file in that list, it
displays the graphic in a pane of the same window. You aren't limited to
viewing/printing thumbnails. I've been looking for any other program
that has the browse capabilities, but I haven't found one yet... unless
I'm missing something...?  Not trashing Irfan, just trying to understand
the features. Please do enlighten me.

	Irfan has the same function: File>Thumbnails, and then (if you
want) File>Create Contact sheet, which allows you to specify how you
want the sheet to appear.
	Really useful for finding duplicate images, or to have as a
"cheat sheet" for picking images out of a library.
	 
	(Not trashing ACDSee -- I used it for many years, and was quite
happy with it.)
