QuickGIF_R - The Lightweight GIF Viewer
A downloadable tool for Windows
Every time I double click a GIF animation my system launches Internet Explorer. I deeply dislike most things Microsoft, but I especially dislike Internet Explorer. So in my fight against "the man" I made QuickGIF_R! A new default app for launching and viewing gif images. Turns out it works great! So great that when I showed a few friends they suggested I share this solution. So here it is! Your chance to fight the good fight and take back your GIFs!
##### Install #####
- Extract the exe from the .7z archive and place it where you want it to live for it's duration. I've placed mine at C:\
- Right click on a gif and choose "Open with" and "Choose another app".
- Check "Always use this app to open .gif files" then click "More apps"
- Scroll to the bottom of the list that appears and click "Look for another app on this PC"
- Navigate to the place where you left the .exe file and choose it.
From now on the GIF will open using QuickGIF_R.
##### Controls/Options #####
- Scroll the mouse wheel up and down to zoom.
- If you have no scroll wheel then you can zoom using +/- buttons on the keyboard.
- Left and Right arrow keys will speed and slow the animation.
- Escape key closes the application.
