GL Image Browser

GL Image Browser is one of those great little free apps that I'm sure will quickly find its way into a lot of Docks. As the author says at Geekologic.com: "It is no iPhoto or Picasa clone, GL Image Browser is not meant as a tool to archive pictures, but as a tool to quickly browse through thousands of pictures to find a special one you are looking for." It's really simple: you can give GL Image Browser a directory to browse through, with an option to toggle whether it parses subdirectories. Clicking on an image displays it in a full-screen window, at which point you can either use your keys to keep navigating, or you can click again to get back to your desktop and the image browser. Right-clicking an image will reveal it in the Finder. I don't think it gets much simpler than this folks. I also don't see much in the way of system requirements other than QuickTime, since it apparently uses that somehow in the back end of the app.

As I mentioned before, GL Image Browser is free, and I don't even see an option on the author's site to donate. Either way, enjoy this most excellent of handy little apps.
