  • 1.9.0

BonAView 1.9.0, released by High Motion Software, is a lightweight Windows application designed to simplify the way large collections of photographs are browsed, sorted, and catalogued. Positioned within the image-viewer and photo-manager category, the program presents a straightforward interface that automatically generates high-quality thumbnails for every supported file type, letting users inspect entire folders at a glance without opening each picture individually. Beyond simple viewing, BonAView offers batch rename, rotation, and format-conversion utilities that help photographers, graphic designers, and hobbyists prepare images for web galleries, client deliveries, or archival storage in a single operation. A built-in keyword tag editor and star-rating system make it possible to create searchable metadata, so years of accumulated shots can be filtered instantly by subject, date, or quality. Side-by-side comparison mode assists in selecting the best exposure from a burst sequence, while a lossless rotate function preserves original EXIF data for subsequent editing in more advanced suites. Because the installer is only a few megabytes and requires no background services, BonAView runs comfortably on older laptops or secondary workstations used on location. The solitary 1.9.0 build has remained current since publication, indicating a stable feature set that fulfills its core mission without periodic feature creep. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
