ImageViewer offers a variety of ways to display files, and quick means to change displays. There are two basic viewing modes, single image and list view. Single image viewing options include: Full Screen, Fit To Window, and scaled betweeen 25% and 1600%. A number of list views are provided, but you are not confined to these views. You can add additional custom list views to the ImageViewer/Views folder, in order to make them available.
Each document window displays a list of files. At the top of the window is a header area, which contains controls which allow you to change the display mode or list ordering. The path name and number within the overall list are displayed for the currently selected file.

ImageViewer list views can use a wide variety of information, which can be placed anywhere within the list element area.
All list views available to ImageViewer are contained in files in the ImageViewer/Views folder. Some standard views (Gallery, Gallery Small, Icon and Text) are provided, as well as a few others(Finder Comments and Keywords). All list views are considered "custom" views. This means they can be defined in separate files, which can be added or removed from the appropriate folder to change list view display choices. The default views should be adequate for most purposes, however, if you would like a different list view, please check the download page to see if a view exists that will fit your needs. If you require a new view to be made, please contact kevinw@imageviewer.com.
