@Specular
Since version 1.5.0 Pictus offers EXIF orientation support! ;)
By the way the latest version is 1.5.1.

@smaragdus, EXIF metadata (rotation at least) is a planned feature, judging by the Github issues page.

If any devs out are there feel like adding support for it I'm also sure the author would welcome it :)

v1.2.3

@This is me
It would be perfect if it supported EXIF.

Thanks for the info, Specular. :)

@Midas The last version to support XP was 1.1.4 according to the blog, you could try that if you like. The developer dropped support for it because of legacy code and most visitors are apparently on Vista or newer.

As rightfully noted, Pictus doesn't support XP... :(

ripu - Could you test with Irfanview and compare load times? I'm interested to know which is faster.

v1.2.0

It even shows thumbnails of PSD files in windows explorer.

The fastest image viewer I have seen on my low-end laptop. It was able to load a huge photo within a second, when all others take about 3/4 sec. Browsing through lots of photos are blazing fast now. I loved it and it's my deafult image viewer.

v1.2.0
