   Review - FastStone Image Viewer

   2.9 (Jan 18, 2007)

   I quite liked it before, but the "download from memory card" feature made it even better for me.
   My mobile phone doesn't have software for image downloading, and while I could do it manually with explorer I can't sort to folders according to EXIF shooting date that way.
   And Canon software that came with my Canon camera for the very same task tries to be smart and connect to a camera when it finds a folder called DCIM (and of course doesn't find it and fails to even open this folder ...), so before this new feature in FastStone it was:
   1)Copy to temporary folder
   2)sort by date from there using Canon soft
   
   So long story cut short - I quite like this new feature :)
   Now if they could eliminate this loooong waiting period while it (as far as I can tell) reads EXIF info before even starting to copy. (Reading it on the fly would speed it up soooooo much)

   "A few days after the demo was first posted, Princeton's Ed Felten added that the memory card slot could be broken into using the same kind of lock-picking tool used to break open hotel mini-bars."
   
   That's not entirely correct.
   The article on Ed Felten's blog says it uses a standard key that is also used to lock mini-bars etc.
   So no lockpicking needed.

   Oh my god ..... another round of "better than original" stuff.....
   When do companies stop abusing stupid people who can't understand, that what compression cuts away is GONE, FOREVER.
   No gadget/software/magic can undo lossy compression.
