Con Thumbnail preview slower than others
Other tools display the thumbnail preview images in the overview much faster. For example ACDSee is extremely fast, StudioLine is faster, too. On Daminion I first see a gray box then after at least 1 second the thumbnail is displayed. Also Lightroom 5 doesn't have such loading times.
Pro Very fast image reader
ACDSee reads the images (jpgs) extremely fast. It displays them very fast, too.
Pro Dark style theme
ACDSee has a nice dark style theme.
Con No face recognition
ACDSee doesn't allow you to set face recognition to files. It also doesn't read already recognized faces. Metadata for faces aren't shown.
Pro Intuitive interface
The desktop experience in the browser.
Pro Metadata embedded in the asset files
Strongly Attached Metadata: Embedded in the assets themselves so you'll never lose it. Ever.
