Windows 7 Photo Viewer?

[howeird]

Calling on the great hive mind to suggest a simple, affordable photo viewer program which meets ALL the following requirements:

1. Runs under Windows 7 64-bit
2. Can start up in a view which shows thumbnails of photos in the selected folder
3. Has a simple way to switch from thumbnail mode to full screen mode
4. Has shortcut keys to copy and move a photo to another folder
5. Hitting the delete key deletes the selected photos(s) or folder(s)

Extra points for:
Remembering the last folder selected, and returning there on the next launch
Being able to show thumbnails of photos inside zip files
Slideshow mode

Simple is better. I had been using ACDSee until it deleted some pictures during a not-quite-Windows7-compatible moment. Adobe products cost way too much for what I need. Most of the ones I've seen lack #4, which I need a lot.

XNview?

[jschonbr.livejournal.com]

Hi,

I am in a similar boat. I have had great luck with ACDSee (version 4.0 actually), till vista and win 7 decided to hate it.

I have dabbled in XNview a little bit. I am not sure it is 100% compliant with your request, but I think it is more compliant than not, and free.

Have you been there, done that, or is this perhaps an actually new application to you?

Cheers,
Joel

I tried it a couple of months ago, it was a very good viewer, but I think it was missing the hot key feature. I'll try it again to see for sure. I mostly used ACDSee to go through my pix, nuke the bad ones and move the good ones to either a "for Flickr" or holding folder while viewing the full screen image.


Edit add: Thanks for the reminder - XNView does everything I need. I'm not sure why I ditched it - I still had the installation bits on the PC.

Ah, found the reason I ditched it. It has a bug on the rotate feature. Usually half my photos are shot vertical, and need to be rotated 90°. XnView's 90° rotation commands always rotate the photo 180° the first time, 90° each subsequent time. So instead of clicking or giving one keyboard command, I have to give two - in opposite directions.
