Existing users, 
As an everyday image viewing app, I haven't seen any better. However, the one missing feature that keeps me from using it is the lack of a thumbnail database a la Thumbsplus or ACDSee. Yes, those are Windows apps, and if ViewIt had this feature, I could stop using my Windows box for image viewing.
It's not that ViewIt's thumbnail loading is slow, it's actually very fast. It's just that I have 60,000 images located on a networked file server, and loading thumbnails every time I open a new directory isn't practical, whereas loading them in once and having them pulled from the local database would be much better.
That being said, it's reasonably priced for what it does already... With a fast thumbnail database engine, it'd be ah absolute steal.

That's very cool. Though, I do think that having to save each folder as a separate image list is not as easy as just browsing the folders and having the thumbnails stored in a single database. The thing is, I have a lot of folders, and they're organized hierarchically, so replicating this structure as a series of photo lists would be difficult.Hopefully, you'll consider a folder tree browser pane and a single, central thumbnail database in a future release. Still, it's good software, thanks for your hard work!

You can save currently loaded thumbnails.1) Drop folder onto ViewIt
2) Wait until all thumbnails are loaded
3) Choose File > Save List
