qIV 3.2.0.452

Now for older PCs too. This release comes in two editions — pick the one for your processor:

Download	For
QuickImageViewer.exe	Most PCs: Intel Core 4th generation (2013) or newer, any AMD Ryzen
QuickImageViewer-LegacyCPU.exe	Older PCs: earlier Core i3/i5/i7, Core 2, and Pentium / Celeron / Atom machines — including fairly recent ones

They are the same program with the same features and settings. The normal edition is built for the AVX2 instructions newer processors have, and tells you if yours does not — the message now names the Legacy CPU download instead of just refusing to start. Not sure? Try QuickImageViewer.exe first.

The Legacy CPU edition was checked on emulated 2008 and 2011 processors, opening every supported format, before it was published.

Everything else in 3.2 — several windows working as one — is below. If you already have 3.2.0.451 and your PC runs it, nothing changed for you beyond the clearer message.

New instance — Ctrl+N

qIV normally runs as one copy: launching it again hands the picture to the window that is already open. Ask for a second window when you want one:

• Ctrl+N, or right-click › New Instance
• Shift + double-click anywhere on the picture (a plain double-click still toggles fullscreen)
• Hold Shift while launching qIV from Explorer or a shortcut

---

Sync Instances — Ctrl+Shift+N

Two folders side by side, compared picture by picture.

• One switch for every window. Turn it on in any copy and every copy is synced; turn it off in any copy and they all stop.
• What follows: next / previous, first / last, zoom in / out / reset, keyboard pan (W A S D) and rotate / flip — from whichever window you happen to be in.
• Each window walks its own folder. Next means its next picture, not the other window's.
• You can see it is on. A gold SYNC leads the top-right corner of every synced window.
• A window opened with Ctrl+N while sync is on joins straight away. Sync is never saved — every launch starts with it off.

Window Placement — right-click menu

Every window-moving key in one place, each with its shortcut beside it:

Menu	Key
Left / Right / Top / Bottom half	Alt+A Alt+D Alt+W Alt+S
Top-left / top-right / bottom-left / bottom-right quarter	Alt+Q Alt+E Alt+Z Alt+C
Move one step left / right / up / down	Shift+A Shift+D Shift+W Shift+S

Arrange All Instances lays out every open qIV window on the monitor you are using:

Windows	Layouts
2	Side by Side, Top and Bottom
3	Three Columns, Three Rows
4	Four Corners
any number	Grid

Layouts that do not fit the number of open windows are greyed out. Each window takes the slot nearest to where it already was, and windows on other monitors are brought over. Dedicated screens and windows hidden in the tray are left exactly where they are.

---

Cycle the arrangement — Ctrl+Alt+Space

One key for all of it.

• With several windows it steps through the layouts for that count — two windows go side by side, then top and bottom — and the next press puts every window back where it was, fullscreen included. A window you moved by hand in the meantime is left where you put it. Press it in any window; they all share the same cycle.
• With one window it walks the screen clockwise from the top: top, top-right, right, bottom-right, bottom, bottom-left, left, top-left — then back to its normal size in the middle, and round again.

---

Fixes

• Snapping a fullscreen window broke it. Alt+W A S D and the quarter snaps shrank the window but left it borderless, always on top and still treated as fullscreen. Snapping now leaves fullscreen first.
• The download and last-commit badges kept showing "invalid". They are now served from this repository's own data and update on every push and release.

qIV Remote — the Android app

qIV Remote is on Google Play — free, no ads, no account. It turns any phone or tablet into a remote control, a second screen, or a photo frame this app drives, as many at once as you have devices lying around.

Nothing about it changed in 3.2; it works with this release as it did with 3.1.
