There's no pulling the wool over your eyes, Chris. ;^)

It looks more elegant and colorful than PS or Viewer (my two best
known interfaces), but not more capable, though I don't have any idea
what those little buttons in a vertical column on the right border do.
So I remain agnostic, as I am about most claims for latest, greatest
Mac goodies.

I don't recall seeing that in the MS list of supported files. Even if
it were there, I'm not sure that converting ORF files just to be able
to review them in Explorer makes sense for me. I'm simply looking for
a method of reviewing RAW files quickly after uploading them from the
CF card. For now Viewer has worked best for that, and I'm satisfied,
though I find Viewer a little "tetchy" from time to time, as though it
doesn't use memory efficiently.
