About gBrowser

gBrowser is an image browser and organizer with no databases or hidden libraries. What you see in the Finder is what you see in gBrowser – except gBrowser presents you with large, beautiful thumbnails and gives you the tools to easily view and organize your images.

It includes a thumbnail browser, Favorites, and file flagging tools to make sorting out and moving your images a snap; a powerful batch rename function with the ability to save presets; a Quick View window which works much like Quicklook on single monitors, but is even more useful when opened permanently on a secondary monitor; and more.

Eases image sorting

If you need to sort the good from the bad after a photo shoot, gBrowser will let you quickly and easily mark which images you want to pull out, and Favorites let you create a set of folders to quickly move or copy your selections into.

Powerful batch rename

gBrowser’s batch renamer will let you rename tens, hundreds, or thousands of files at once (even deep folder heirarchies). Add sequential numbers, dates, parent or grandparent folder names, or more to your filenames. Full regular expression support makes it even more powerful. Its filtering abilities will ensure you rename only the files you want to rename, and sorting ensures your sequential numbers are in the order you want.

Loves multiple monitors

In addition to being able to open your images one at a time the old-fashioned way, gBrowser’s Quick View window can open in full screen on any of your monitors. As you browse your thumbnails on one screen, the other screen will instantly show your selections in full glory. If you don’t have multiple monitors, the Quick View is still useful – it can be instantly opened or closed with escape key to take a detailed look at your selected image.
