My current structure is a follows - PhotosCollection01\ I have most of these directories arranged in one/similar way and i would like to convert it to a different structure which will be more convenient for me. I am trying to convert the directory structure of my photos' directories. I would really like help with creating a simple (and easy to "adjust") batch file/script which could help me do what i need to do (described below). Overall, IrfanView still gives me the best overall performance in the biggest variety of tasks that I set it to.I'm very bad with batch files/scripts, especially compared to ones who are "fluent" with it :). It's become so sluggish from years of efforts to make it do anything and everything, that it's almost unusable for its original purpose as an image viewer. Most notably, ACDSee is terribly bloated these days. Most other alternatives I didn't really find worth the attention at all. WildBit Viewer is an interesting alternative in some cases, but its strange interface, and the way it's split up into different applications, make it rather unintuitive to use. I like FastStone Viewer, but it offers me much fewer options to configure its behaviour.
The original XnView has become rather slow, but the modernised XnViewMP is coming along nicely now (January 2017) and I definitely recommend it, it pretty much ties for first place. It comes closest to IrfanView in terms of speed and feature set. To compare to some other popular viewers: I have used XnView for a very long time, and still have it installed on most of my systems. This is just one use case, but I have found that no other tool supports it as well and comfortably as IrfanView, and that's a recurring conclusion for many other situations. I can even compile my slideshow, whichever way it was configured, into a standalone executable! apply edits or move back and forth among the pictures of the current directory.

If I'm in a place of interest of a picture series, I can use the Ctrl+N shortcut to open that picture in a new, regular IrfanView window with full functionality, to e.g. Many handy zoom shortcuts allow me to inspect images in detail directly from within the slideshow. The sequence is memorised, so I can jump back if I've skipped something by accident. Just as one usage example, I can create a slideshow over tens of thousands of pictures within a folder structure, and jump through images in a predetermined or shuffled order. In fact, that keyboard shortcuts are not customisable is the only real downside about IrfanView that I can think of. There are also tons of keyboard shortcuts, that may take a while to learn (although, of course, you only look up the ones that fit your style of working) but will make everything so much faster once you know them by heart. It's a very old school program: countless options to configure everything the way you want, rather than the dumbed-down "one size fits nobody" approach that is so popular today.
It has a lot of features, making sure that pretty much everyone can view their images the way they prefer. It's very fast in reading and displaying pictures, so I can browse massive folders quickly. It has everything I need and is of very high quality (no crashes, no weird behaviour, no lagging). I've used many different image viewers throughout the years, starting way back in the day with ACDSee (not an option anymore these days, yuck!) at some point discovering IrfanView, then cycling through many alternatives but always coming back to settle on IrfanView.
