Image Viewer

The only image viewer/manipulator in the suite is Gimp. There is no doubt GIMP is a good piece of software but for general use it is a bit clunky. I find Fastone Viewer Portable is a really user friendly and versatile general image viewer and it contains most of the simple image manipulation tools plus a few that are really inovative. Why, oh, why, does Portable Apps not recommend it?

This website is only about

This website is only about Windows-based FOSS Open Source software at this time. That may change in the future, but that is the rule for now. There are other places to find non-Open Source freeware, as you obviously have found Faststone products (not all of which are free, either).

just babbling again .......

One open source app that I ran across some time back on SourceForge is imgv
http://imgv.sourceforge.net/features.html

Site says "portable", but I think they mean portable in the sense of "will run on any OS/Platform", not in the sense of run from portable drive.

But it is only a viewer, so it will not woo me away from IrfanView (freeware) which also can do simple graphics editing and even plays many audio and video files.

Also, imgv has not been updated in almost 2 years.

Maybe Cornice? Open Source app similar to ACDSee
http://wxglade.sourceforge.net/extra/cornice.html

Cornice is also outdated.

Cornice is also outdated. The author said back in December he may do 1 final bugfix release if time permits, but that hasn't happened yet

XN View is pretty sweet.

XN View is pretty sweet. It's freeware, but I'm not sure if it's open source or not. Anything that can open and print .CAL files would definitely be sweet.
