I find xNViewhttps://www.xnview.com/en/ and the context menu addition https://www.xnview.com/en/xnshell/ to be indispensable for work other that Xara Designer work. You can batch rename VERY easily, Batch process files to different formats, and a lot of useful stuff you many never had considered.

It's free, and the right-click shell extension can provide you with an almost instant large preview of a selected file. I oftenn use it to post someting on the fly as a JPEG on FaceBook when my desired file is a PNG.


One of the better free downloads for artists and designers, I'd say.

My Best,
