I'm new to LinuxLite. Coming from PClinuxOS because it no longer supports 32 bit systems and XP is withering in the wind and I have 4 old Acer net-books I use in multiple areas that need a new 32 bit systems. At this point I am really impressed with Linux lite however one of my "Must Have" apps is Irfanview. PCLinuxOS has Irfanview in its repository and runs perfectly. I have tried to install it under Play on linux and qtwine with out success. I can probably figure it out but it shouldn't be such a hassle.
Irfanview is so superior to the apps mentioned above that there is no comparison. with the exception of Gimp they are just image viewers. Irfanview has so many more capabilities for image enhancement and manipulation in addition to being an excellent image and file viewer. Things like image resizing, color correction, conversion, scanning front end, paint, FAX and PDF viewer and a lot more. It's great for 95% of image manipulation. No offense to Gimp but it is more of a dedicated graphics package like Photo Shop and is like using an excavator to dig a hole to plant a petunia.
