I'll try that plug-in. :-) Thanks, Grant.

  To move back and forth in the folder: 
       FORWARD: SpaceBar, Right_Arrow or Page_Down keys, or roll mousewheel towards you
       BACK: Backspace, Left_Arrow or Page_Up keys, or roll mousewheel away from you
   
  To view information on a graphic: 
       BASIC: Dimensions, Color Depth, List Order, Compressed/uncompressed size, date/time are displayed in status bar at bottom. Changes as images change.
       EXPANDED: Click Information button (Circle i) in toolbar to open a dialog.  Does not change with image change.
   
  NOTES: 
  Be sure to get the IrfanView Plugins accessory: http://www.irfanview.com/plugins.htm
  It adds a lot of functionality.

  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.)
