Google Picasa Replacement - Viewing All Images?

[FantasyAcquiesce]

Hello,

I am seeking a software to scan my PC of all images. Google Picasa does not preview newer image format, which is problematic.

I need to scan my PC of scattered family images. I do not want them to be lost in the case of a failing hard drive.

Thank you for your time

You can use XnView Classic to browse images. In the Thumbnails view use Tools... > Search... > Include subfolders. Once the search is complete, click browse to see thumbnails in a flat list that spans multiple directories. The program has limited editing & batch conversion functionality. It is a respected graphics tool with a long history. I'm not familiar with Picasa.
