My collegue at work showed me PicturePopPro today.

Basicly   its a Graphic Viewer as Context-Menu.

A quote from the project page:

PicturePopPro (initialy named PicturePop) was born in 2001. It was one of the first contextual menu plugins for MacOS X, and the first picture viewer as contextual menu plugin for MacOSX. PPP2 is designed to work on all PowerPC macs, from 10.3.9 to 10.4.x, especially with less memory [on low configuration]. With Tiger, Apple has introduced a contextual menu with similar diaporama functionality but.. just test PPP2 and compare.. PPP2 offers fast browsing-viewing-searching-marking-actions. With the help of donations, PPP 2.0 is now ready for intel. Check donation page to learn more about it.

I guess i will use it in addition to my basic image viewer (Xee.app)

Another very interesting application for Photo-Artists called: Image Sorter

Quote from the project page:

ImageSorter is an image browsing application which, for the first time, allows an automatic sorting of images.

The idea of ImageSorter is to find images of which you remember how they look but you forgot in which folder they were. If one or several folders are selected, all images from these folders will be visually arranged such that similar images are close to each other. In this sorted display it will be much easier to find a particular image. Selected images can be copied, moved or deleted (right mouse click). ImageSorter does cache thumbnails and sortings, therefore after images have been loaded once, everything will be much faster.

A quick test on my macbookpro was impressive. The idea is great and the performance was quite ok, at least for local-stored images.

Windows & Mac-releases can be found there:
