🖼 View pictures
Look at photos right in the program – without downloading them first.
What it does for you
- Find the right photo without downloading each one.
- Browse the whole folder with the arrow keys, zoom with the mouse wheel.
- Same on the phone: tap, swipe, done.
You're looking for one particular photo from the last trip, but the folder holds three hundred pictures. It used to be: download, open, next. Now a double-click is enough.
How it works
A double-click on a picture in the personal area (or 🖼 View) opens it large in the program. DasDing fetches only the displayed picture and the next one – not the whole folder. No copy is created on your computer unless you click Download.
Controls
- ← / → or the arrows at the edge: forward and back through all pictures of the folder.
- Mouse wheel, + / − or a click into the picture: zoom.
- Download: saves the picture as usual.
- Esc closes the view.
- On the phone: tap the picture, swipe to browse, double-tap to zoom, “⬇ Download” saves to “Download/DasDing”.
Frequent questions
Which formats work?
JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP and SVG. Formats such as HEIC, TIFF or RAW aren't shown – a note appears instead, and you download the picture.
Why does a note appear instead of the picture?
Pictures over 50 MB aren't loaded into the preview so the program stays fast. Downloading still works.
Does anyone else see this?
No. The preview shows only your own files from your personal area.
