Irfanview 4.00 Graphics Viewer Update Released

My favorite freeware graphics viewer, Irfanview, has just received its latest update, from version 3.99 to 4.00. According to the Irfanview web site, the following "major" changes were made in this new version:

* Improved Vista compatibility
* New display option: Center image in window (Menu: View->Display options)
* Toolbar skin option added (Properties->Toolbar)
   More Toolbar skins are available on the IrfanView homepage.
   => Users can send new Toolbar skins by email, Thanks guys!
* New Properties->Video option: Use DirectShow for playing (good for MJPG AVIs)
* New advanced batch option: Auto adjust colors
* "Enhance colors" can be now used on selections
* New EXIF dialog button: Show in Google Earth (if GPS data available)
* The EXIF dialog can stay displayed on screen
* Thanks to Dmitri Poguliayev for the new Vista icon!
* New Hotkey: CTRL + SHIFT + M = Show/edit JPG comment
* Several PlugIns are changed/updated, please install the newest versions
