Regardless of its speed and utility, this Windows version of XnView Retro just seems "old" to me. Secondly, though very many of us are skeptical of the Metro overlay on Windows 8 for the desktop, it almost goes without saying that Windows 8 and Metro on a tablet are a juggernaut that will either wipe out old paradigms or introduce new ones that will, over time, supercede the old. First, because users of this sort of tool are primarily mobile users (already addressed by XnView Retro on Android). Also, this app would be very successful if integrated with XnView MP as plugin, or as a dedicated "Retro" image tab, or as a "mode" for a standard image tab.īut beyond those two valid justifications, I tend to question the reason for it, at least in the Windows ecology. Unfortunately, the Picasa plugin does not navigate to the album/image in the web browser after upload.Īs a "stand-alone" app, I can see that XnView Retro serves a useful purpose as a test bed for the features it offers. The ImageShack upload is very convenient and fast, opening the image in the web browser after completion. I tested email, ImageShack, and Picasa successfully.
