I'm using this now, but I'd like it better if it had these features:

• some way to open a folder from the command line ("open -a Xee ." doesn't work).
• some way to advance to the next image one-handed on a laptop keyboard, possibly with , and . (obvious joke goes here).

What >>962 said.

I don't see why Xee is off the hook, the Xee UI let me associate a file type with it, it should set it back to what it was when I uncheck that association. It shouldn't be too difficult to see what the filetype is associated with before it takes that association on, store that info someplace out of the way and restore that original association if gets unchecked. Thankfully I didn't Select All =D

>>964

It shouldn't be, no. But it is. OS X does not provide a reliable way to do this. The filetype association system is quite broken, and the APIs for programs to access it is even more broken.

Ahh, that more detailed explanation makes better sense then. So I retract and reassign my original chastisement .... Innocent Xee, Bad Apple Baaaad!

First: Xee is excellent! There is one feature I would love to see: mouse gestures. There used to be http://www.cocoasuite.com/ but it causes some trouble at least with OS X 10.5.6.

I have recently moved from a PC to a Mac. I was a massive fan of Irfanview and spent ages looking for a Mac equivalent. That is, until I found Xee.

One feature I would like to see however (the reason why I'm on this website), is the ability to apply colour labels to files as I browse through them. I'm a photographer and this would make picking out the best shots (for further editing) a breeze.

Keep up the good work!

>>968

That's not a bad idea, I suppose. If you file a bug for it I am less likely to forget about it.

>>967
Try xGestures. It's very cheap, powerful, and works for the whole OS, not just cocoa apps.

I would REALLY like Xee to have pan zoom capabilities in slide show mode.
Actually, I cant find any OSX picture viewing application that has auto pan zoom in slideshow.... and I think its great!

Hope I see it in a future realease.

>>971
Well... iPhoto does that, and it's certainly for OS X. ;)

I downloaded the source and tried to compile it. It failed to compile with a duplicate symbol error in XeeTypes.h (over 40 errors). Removing the duplicate it still fails to compile with a 'Framework not found XADMaster' error.

>>973

Get XADMaster from The Unarchiver.

Hi, can you post an entire list of formats supported?

thanks.

reply to your "adobe rant" in xee source-code (it's nice they actually replied)

>>977
it'd be nicer if their reply included something like http://libpsd.graphest.com/files/Photoshop%20File%20Formats.pdf...

Would be awesome if there was some way to hide the mouse cursor in fullscreen mode...

that's the only thing I'm really missing! Great work :)

has the default sort order been fixed? it won't use the "same as in the finder" option. i've had this problem since i first started using xee.

great stuff but i am new to mac and don't know how to set it as my default viewer if there is a way? thanks for any help

To set Xee as the default App for a particular file type, 'right-click' on a file of that type to bring up the contextual menu, then where it says "Open with:" select Xee.app from the drop-down list, then click "Change all..." and click "Continue". All files of that type will then open with Xee.

FOR MODERATOR: Could you please delete this, and post 982 as I forgot to mention a step and have posted a corrected version (983). Thank you.

>>984
Click the [Del] button.

Been using Xee as my default image viewer for a long time. It works almost perfectly for me, I only have a few requests:

1. antialias zoomed in images
2. an option to view as fit on screen when in full screen mode
3. an option to hide the mouse cursor in full screen mode

Thanks

Hi there,
great and fast ProgrAM.

I would like to see a zoom/magnifier option for left click as you can configure for exaple in FastStone viewer (on PC).

Thanks

Wonderful little program, thank you.

I'm using .PEF files (Pentax RAW format) which Xee can apparently read, but does not consider, when going from image to image in a folder. Any way to add PEF as one of the extensions Xee looks at?

Thanks, best,

Geza

Just a bug report with a jpeg file that causes Xee to hang miserably on my machine. I have attached the image with this post.

Intel GMA 950, OSX 10.5.7

>>993

Seems to be fixed already in the dev version.

Not sure if this has been reported, but after saving a lossless rotation, the app doesn't properly redisplay the rotated image until it's been restarted.

BTW, any idea when the next release is due?

>>995

That should not happen. Is that on a windows share or something?

The next release will be out... sometime. I need to get The Unarchiver 2.0 done first, for one.

great app not many .iff viewers out there is there any way of seeing the alpha channel with no colour for comp and maya purposes, it tells you it can see the rgba can you switch between them oh and open exr wow

I second Geza's request. It would be great to be able to browse PEF files as opposed to needing to open each one individually.

On windows I used acdsee32 (the classic viewer from the 90s).
Xee is comparable, a very nice and light weight viewer with good zooming/resizing options.

One question, maybe missing: Is it possible to resize the window and have the image shrink with it?

Please fix support for sRGB. Currently pictures exported from Lightroom turn out looking washed out. Preview seems to handle same photos correctly.

Thanks for the much needed software though!
