The  version tested for this review, admittedly a &#8216;pre&#8217; (1.7pre [178]) release,  is not bug free and not the fastest. For example the thumbnail panel  (available via the Panel menu) is not always populated with the images  of a highlighted or chosen directory.<\/p>\n<p>kuView supports copying, moving, renaming and printing  images. Re-sampling algorithms such as <a title=\"Lanczos resampling\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lanczos_resampling\" target=\"_blank\">Lanczos<\/a> and reading metadata and  EXIF information associated with a photo. It can also rotate and set  an image as wallpaper. One can also view directories as a slideshow, favorite a directory and move between  directories, not only levels up and levels down but in &#8216;history&#8217; mode as  well, all using the Traverse menu.<\/p>\n<p>Two additional features less common to image  viewers is the ability to manage a Picasa Web album or gallery from  within kuView and also to view, complete with thumbnails, images inside  an archive (*.zip, *.tar, *.gz). It also supports reading <a title=\"RAW Image Format\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Raw_image_format\" target=\"_blank\">RAW<\/a> images.<\/p>\n<p>kuView is  unicode capable, has a set of command line interface options and is  availabe either as an executable or a full blown installer. It should  run on all recent Windows versions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>kuView is a free and opensource lightweight image viewer which tries to aid the user in collecting and managing photo and image collections.
