Excuse me, just a little nit I feel the urge to pick: does the program demand (a la RawDigger beta) an active internet connection just "to check for updates" each and every single time you run it? Thanks.
I don't speak for the vendor/author but...
FastRawViewer does not demand internet connection. It uses it for updates check (once a week in default config, you may change it), but updates check is in background, so it does not affects your interaction with the program even internet is not available.
Does FastRawViewer use LibRaw?
We do not have this feature, and it is a matter of debate if it is needed, quite a lot of beta testers see it as unnecessary for the intended workflow of pre-selecting keepers. To resolve this conflict, we are trying to come up with something that has a better ergonomics than just a generic light table.
Yes.
Same as the JasPer JPEG 2000 encoder?
Complies on my Mac using
Thanks, it compiles on Linux after installing libjasper-dev.
Excellent.
RED are using an extension of JPEG2000, and jasper is used exactly for the purpose of decoding Red camera footage. Normally you can see jas_stream as a part of it.
One possible workflow would be to put your Raw files in a folder for each day (or week) of shooting. Back 'em up twice to different media. Then run FRV to decide which ones to convert with added effort in postprocessing. You could use a slow converter with best quality, or ACR, and possibly a superior NR tool as well.
Impressive list of enhancements. Thanks!

That's pretty much what I do currently using FastPictureViewer. I think FastRawViewer could do a very good job too. And although I prefer the clean line of FPV as an image viewer, FRV has some nice features for the initial evaluation of RAW files.
Still, I think we'll all be winners and I shall most likely use both programs on a regular basis.Dang. That was easy. Perfect, thank you!
