Contextual menu

ImageViewerCMPlugIn is a contextual menu accessible from anywhere in the Finder. You don't have to select all the images: just select one image, or a directory, and instantly the images show up in the application. You can also tell the application to search for pictures in subdirectories so that you don't have to go back to the Finder everytime you want to see pictures in a subdirectory. ImageViewerCMPlugIn is also compatible with Path Finder.

All the shortcuts are fully customizable in the preferences.

External editor

If you want to modify a picture that you are viewing with ImageViewerCMPlugIn, you can set a default external editor like Adobe Photoshop and just use the "open in separate editor" button of the toolbar. The image instantly opens in your image editor.

Previews

If you want to have a global view of a set of pictures, you can display the previews all the pictures on the left of the screen. Clicking on one of the previews automatically displays the picture in the main view. If you don't want to see the previews, you can simply hide them.

Sorting pictures

If your pictures are all mixed-up from the last holidays, you can use the sorting feature of ImageViewerCMPlugIn to move or copy your pictures in different directories, simply by pressing a key on the numpad. You can set up to 9 different "categories".

Deleting pictures

When sorting pictures, you can mark some of them as "deleted". They are not moved to the trash until you quit the application, so it is always possible to go back and unmark a deleted picture.

All digital cameras use the EXIF standard to store infirmations about pictures in JPEG files. ImageViewerCMPlugIn can read the EXIF tags and display them in a separate floating window. This is useful for photographers that like to know everything about their pictures. For other image formats, ImageViewerCMPlugIn can extract more informations from the metadata contained in certain file types.
