Thanks for asking. I passed it on to the friend who has the Mac in
question, but I haven't gotten any feedback from him yet as to how
well it works. I'll pass it on if/when he gives me any feedback.

Moogs! Would you buy it for a quarter?

I'm late to the conversation I realize but I wanted to put in a good
word for Xee. If all you're interested in is viewing and not editing
images, this one can't be beat IMO. I know the original freeware version
works on Tiger through El Capitan, but you need the new pay version
(only $4 though) on Mojave (at least) and up.

For some reason the author got rid of left and right arrows in the
original version (for viewing images inside a folder), and you need to
use keyboard arrows for that task in the new one (go figure).
