Irfanview, it's idiosyncratic as hell, with a user interface that only
it's mother could love, but it will read pretty much every image file
known to man, has a customizable thumbnail viewer allows you to define
three external editors to open your files in, and is extendable with
Photoshop compatible plugins. Oh, and it's a free download. Plus it
will let you generate humungous screen saver files of your images as
well as standalone slideshows. It's single drawback is it's a Windows
only program.

Oh, yes, if your PEF/DNG files manage to get borked so bad that even
Pentax Digital Camera Utility barfs when trying to open them, it can
sometimes at least extract the imbedded jpeg which may be good enough
for web use.

It has been acting up of late when I preview the jpgs -
what I need is not something that includes editing but
a simple way to go into each directory where my K-5 -or- any
files are viewable. My first 1-t external drive seems to
be friend, fortunately I backed up on August 31st so now
I've got all my image files on a better seagate drive.
When I preview stuff I just need something in read only
but that quickly allows me to shift from thumbnails to
a larger view - but not full screen, showing me the file
number.
I don't ahve any images at all in the area called "MY Pictures"
I have all the recent on the E: in a master directory called ALL
PENTAXSINCEJULY2013, and the sub-directories/folders are merely
the date I shot the photos - my preferred choice.
suggestions? acdsEE too frequently says it has encountered a problem
and has to shut down. that usually happens after I've been working
for a while, viewing lots of photos.. and working in Elements 5.0 at
the same time.
Thanks,
ann
