irfanview is indeed lauded for being plenary but i haven't had success with it: irfanview's toolbar should as you say contain a “proceed to the successor page” button but i don't see it - i only see a “progress to the next *file* ” button. also, the toolbar appears only in one or two views - the default view is full screen which does present the toolbar. and iv is most unfriendly to touchpad keyboards. thus, iv has thus far been of no use to me although it was one of the first that i tried - that's why i'm still searching. (btw, many softwares - including Windows! and Google's Gmail- are inconsiderate of touchpad keyboards.)
