ACDSee image browser and graphics manipulation
on
Viewers for Large Images?
·
· Score: 2, Informative
ACDSee is the image browser of choice when it comes to any kind of image type. It's fast efficient and performs many functions that are an absolute must for anyone who works with images or graphics.
It supports just about any file type you can think of including video and audio as well as compressed archives and even scans unrecognized files.
It's available for PC and Mac but the mac version is more limited and slower than the pc counterpart. There's also a slimed down version of the original image viewer that is fast as lightning.
You can get all the same options minus the dual processsors on the new iMac
for less $$$ and almost as fast. It really doesn't make any sense. Go ahead
go to apples's store and
check it out for yourself.

When was the last time you heard about a software company issuing a recall on a product? Maybe they should. Other businesses do it especially when a product causes harm or doesn't work as intended and causes serious problems to consumers which in these cases it does.
it is very simple to associate file types with programs... there are even many ways to go about this task... hold shift and right click pick open with... or click properties on a file and then click the button that says Opens with X Change... and of course in the registry and in the folder options... i don't think there is some sort of attempt to hide these options... however there is software (not necessarily by MS) that is very persistant about modifiying these assosciations.
And as far as elegance goes it's a much better sytem than on a mac... mac files never want to open with the right program unless they were created on that computer and you have the software installed.
there is nothing wrong with file extensions , they are a standard, and i don't believe MS overly takes advantage of file type assosciations.
A valiant effort none the less... i see more spammers using this all the time now... i think it's a good idea for a central remove list... I just hope it takes off.

The EMBED tag has never been inmpimented in any form of HTML so it's not a W3C standard element in the first place... so in a way IE is just conforming to standards comlpiant browser rules anyway, even if MS did it for alterior motives like law suits or monopolistic practices.
If everyone would just stick to W3C guidlines when creating web pages and browsers there wouldn't be all the troubles with compatibility and usability that we have now.

Hmmm ... tough choice there

Can anyone say class action law suite?
I want my time and money back
