QuickImageViewer 3.2.0.452

What's new in 3.2.0.452

qIV 3.2.0.452
Now for older PCs too. This release comes in two editions — pick the one for your
processor:
──────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Download │For
──────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
QuickImageViewer.exe │Most PCs: Intel Core 4th generation (2013) or newer, any AMD Ryzen
──────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
QuickImageViewer-LegacyCPU.exe│Older PCs: earlier Core i3/i5/i7, Core 2, and Pentium / Celeron / Atom machines — including fairly recent ones
──────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
They are the same program with the same features and settings. The normal edition is
built for the AVX2 instructions newer processors have, and tells you if yours does
not — the message now names the Legacy CPU download instead of just refusing to start.
Not sure? Try QuickImageViewer.exe first.
The Legacy CPU edition was checked on emulated 2008 and 2011 processors, opening every
supported format, before it was published.
Everything else in 3.2 — several windows working as one — is below. If you already have
3.2.0.451 and your PC runs it, nothing changed for you beyond the clearer message.

is already open. Ask for a second window when you want one:
- Ctrl+N, or right-click › New Instance
- Shift + double-click anywhere on the picture (a plain double-click still toggles
fullscreen)
- Hold Shift while launching qIV from Explorer or a shortcut
Sync Instances — Ctrl+Shift+N
Two folders side by side, compared picture by picture.
- One switch for every window. Turn it on in any copy and every copy is synced; turn
it off in any copy and they all stop.
- What follows: next / previous, first / last, zoom in / out / reset, keyboard pan
(W A S D) and rotate / flip — from whichever window you happen to be in.
- Each window walks its own folder. Next means its next picture, not the other
window's.
- You can see it is on. A gold SYNC leads the top-right corner of every synced
window. …
