It may be one to review in the future. Compfight looks like a very powerful tool. Thanks for pointing that one out for us. It may be one to review in the future.

Rather use http://compfight.com/ with its integrated file size display instead or http://www.sxc.hu for large images. With ginipic there is the chance to define a special image size on the images only for these on your harddrive and not for web. Overall the whole application takes too long for any action.

Ginipic may be long to start, but it retrieves pics very quickly, and it removes automatically duplicates! Choose your search engine, or select them all, or search on your own local drive : it finds everything, blasting fast! 4- The GUI... try it and tell me if perfection is the wrong word! 5- What I miss : a filter, in particular for picture dimensions. http://www.marblehost.com It took me some time to deliver my impressions (our President Sarkozy was on an important TV interview), but here goes…

The icon rearrangement is a problem though! Hope they'll fix it Actually Ginipic does allow you to search for sizes.. it’s just in the advanced search part (arrow on the search box).

Otherwise, an very nice tool (even though requiring .Net Framework 3.5). I have tried ginipic, it’s a wonderful software but I’d express two points,

It moved everything around and didn't tidy up, even when the program was shut down. Had to put most of my icons back to my preferred places. Uninstalled.
