Ai Picture Explorer (AiPICX) is an All-in-One app views, edits, enhances, manages and organizes photos -- plays multimedia too. Windows 9x users can have thumbnail features without a Windows upgrade.

A Batch UnZipper (to extract multiple ZIPs unattended) and simplified networking support is included.

Its Slide Album can thumbnail entire drives (supports a million slides) and organize images by similarity to find "modified" duplicates; proprietary Image Analysis can quantify picture quality, rank and sort images that "look like this". Slide Album also creates slideshows (or presentations) with 173 cool effects, variable delays, windows-in-windows, gamma, background, rotation, comments and other properties (per slide).

Its speedy viewer is unmatched; includes gamma, widescreen, zooming & fit-to-window options. JPEG Wizard creates tiny, high-quality files.
