Title: ExifTool GUI & Windows Picture and Fax Viewer?
Post by: KenO on April 06, 2010, 10:24:45 AM
Does ExifTool GUI need Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to show the small lower left preview image?

Hi Ken,

As you assume by now, inside GUI you can see (lower left pane and/or image thumbnails) only for images, which are supported by Windows.
There exist many solutions, but I find Fast Picture Image Codec (http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/) the best. At the time I've downloaded this relative small package, it was free -check yourself. Small hint: don't bother to download similar (and free too) product from ArcSoft, because it isn't maintained for years anymore -thus, your camera images may not be recognized.

Greetings,
Bogdan
