Command-Line simple Image Viewer for GameLauncher?
« on: August 10, 2003, 04:08:47 pm »
Im trying to add a simple 'instruction' sheet  for my cabinet, within GameLauncher.   The idea is that one of the possible selections is a 'Help' item (an image with a help sheet), that would in turn be opened with a simple image viewer.  

I cannot find a command line bare-bones image viewer that will work with Win2000.   The one that ALMOST did the trick was PictView, but it constantly crashes  (documented bug).

Anyone know of a simple image viewer for Win2K that is command-line based (CLI)?  The simpler, the better... the idea is to be able to do something like:
C:\myViewer.exe instructions.bmp -fullscreen

Don't wanna argue with Howard but...

InfranView will work. It has a very good command line interface and it uses the [ESC] key to exit. Find it here:

Vallen Jpegger also has a good command line interface. However,  it uses [ALT]+[F4] to exit. You could work around that with a wrapper or key remapper if you had to though. It's here:

Hope this helps!  ;)
