Features include a GUI that doesn't get in the way of viewing your images, a file browser, slideshows, zooming, rotating, on-the-fly Exif viewing, histograms, fullscreen support, wallpaper setting, the ability to view 4 images on the screen at once, adjustable thumbnail sizes, playlists, view and download images from Web sites, movie playing, file searching/filtering, multiple directory loading, transitional effects, image hiding and more.
I actually wrote this program myself and have been working on it since the summer of 2001. It's the only image viewer I use because it's fast, has features that other image viewers don't support that I like and it can run on other operating systems besides just Windows.
Here's a screenshot of imgv I took where I'm using it to view a picture of my old cat with it:

hey... i just downloaded and tried imgv, and thought i could get to like this thing... but i hit one problem - imgv had no shell (explorer) integration in windows. i tried to do it myself, but it became very messy when i figured out imgv needs to be run in its installation directory. anyway to fix this, or can shell integration be built into your installer?
I guess you could just set the 'external viewer' to point to C:\Windows\explorer.exe if imgv's directory browser isn't enough for you. I'll look into adding that to my todo list though. thanks
imgv is cool, but there are two things that i don't like: 1) there's no easy way to integrate it to the shell, and 2) when you open one image with it, clicking on "next image" doesn't take you to the next one in that directory, like all other image viewers do (you must be browsing the whole directory in imgv, in order to do that).
but no matter that, it's a great viewer, so congratulations!
I can highly recommend image viewer, i have it myself and it is a great tool that save me a lot a time digging true images.
As a professional photographer i can use my time better
two other problems i found: 1) the menu always appears when you open an image (and it shouldn't: most of the times you just want to view the image), and 2) when you press + for zoom in (or - for zoom out), and keep it pressed, it doesn't keep zooming, like most programs do.
Just browsing the internet, you have a very, very interesting blog.
