It is an <a class="zem_slink" title="Image viewer" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_viewer">image viewer for browsing through graphics files. Its many features include <a class="zem_slink" title="Point-and-click" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-and-click">single click file
viewing, support for external editors, previewing images using <a class="zem_slink" title="Thumbnail" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumbnail">thumbnails, and zoom.
