Awesome free Windows RAW file viewer

[Dave Santora]

This program adds a built in viewer for pretty much every RAW file type so that Windows Explorer will show thumbnails of PEFs and other RAW types. Can save a bunch of time when browsing withing Windows.

Download and install - free, does not require reboot...

So glad I could give a little back to my favorite internet folks. - I am surprised how well it works.

I got sick of having to open Adobe Bridge just to check and see if I was in the right folder or not.

After you install it, then set folder view options to thumbnail for it to work. I have not found any format it won't read - amazing

Best and happy shooting and thumbnailing, JR

to load thumbnail views the first time you open a directory with lots of files in it, but after it creates a "thumbs.db" file they re-open very fast. It gets the orientation right on DNGs (but not PEFs; DPmagicCE doesn't get it right on either), and mouse-over on the files (or thumbs) gives basic EXIF info. A definite improvement for me.

Interesting.

I installed this and it had no effect whatsover. No thumbs.

I rebooted - no better.

I then uninstalled it. Uninstalled DPMagic. Reinstalled RSE and it burst into life.

Seems like a clash with DPMagic.

I have also found a few interesting behaviours.

I found that a couple of hours after installing it, the functionality disappeared. Rebooted, no improvement. Reinstalled it (it asked me if I wanted to "repair" an existing install) and it came back. Then disappeared again after an hour.

then I remembered that I had installed dpmagic about 6 months ago which had also died after I installed PixVue (for much improved exif info when selecting file-properties). I then gave up on RSE and reinstalled dpmagic and I have my thumbs back and they seem to be staying.

I really should clean up my computer some day. These programs must all be fighting with each other.

I'm not very computer savvy. I installed the freeware program and after wards can't find it. Do I have to start any program to access it? Thanks, Bob.
