Great app, especially if you like the way photos are viewed on Windows

I have wanted a Mac for quite some time now, but I have always had a PC since around 1988 and onward. I finally made the jump and got a Macbook Air which I love and, to me, is nearly ‘perfect’ One thing that I could not get used to even after weeks of using it, or at least I could not figure it out, was how to view photos when I put them on my external hard drive. That is not to say I could not view them - that is as easy as double clicking. However, even after research, it seemed that if you are not using the actual drive on the Mac itself, you cannot simply swipe left or right through photos like you can with the built in photo app with Mac OS. Once I moved everything to the external drive, it would allow me to view them in a preview app, but I could not arrow or swipe through them all in a simple fashion. Seemed, too, that many had this issue. After some looking around, I decided to try this Image Viewer app, and it works incredibly well It did take a bit for me to learn that I had to view a file’s info and then ensure I told it to always use this program, etc., but once I was done with that, things are exactly as they should be I can click on a photo in a directory, make it full screen, and easily swipe or arrow to the next one.

I admit, I wish by moving photos to an external drive that the built in app still worked, but I could not for the life of me get it to do so. For a few dollars, this one did that perfeclty, and I cannot recommend it enough.
