The idea behind it is great -- a simple barebones piece of software that can view any graphics file. But I sometimes have problems getting it to open simple graphics files like JPEGs, and it doesn't open PNGs to the best of my knowledge...

I have had this very problem when trying to print from Preview on occasion, it just prints out pages and pages of strange symbols at the top of the page when all I wanted was one IE-exported printout. And why don't I just print out from IE? For some reason it doesn't print correctly on our HP Color Laserjet 8550 DN printers. Whatever, I hardly ever print anyways.
