I found this today, haven't tested it yet, but looks like a useful piece of software for monitoring usage, along with some other features:

Normally converting a bunch of images into a single PDF file is a two-step process, requiring two different applications. But one step is all you will need if you choose to use a tool called Hexonic ScanToPDF.

Years ago I used to use ACDSee the free version (for DOS and Windows)...

Then it stopped being free and I had to switch to using FastStone Image Viewer or Irfan.

But I see now that once again ACDSee has a Free version...

ACD Systems has announced the release of ACDSee Free, a simple and speedy PC image viewer.

The program supports the most important image formats (BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TGA, TIFF, WBMP, PCX, PIC, WMF, EMF), and really does seem to be fast, loading and displaying just about anything at very high speed.

And once you’ve opened something, ACDSee Free provides all the usual image viewing options. There are plenty of zoom controls, for instance; you can rotate an image, set it as your wallpaper, delete it, maybe save the file as another format (BMP, GIF, JPEG, PCX, PNG, TGA, TIFF and WBMP exports are supported).

A clean and simple interface makes it easy to browse through your photos

Printing is particularly strong. You can print an image to a standard size (4″x6″, 5″x7″, 10″x8″, whatever you like); there’s full control of the filter to be used if resampling is necessary; you can tweak your image gamma, add custom header and footer text, control the image position, rotation, aspect ratio and more.

And the program Options dialog hides a few useful settings, including the ability to keep the viewing window on top of everything else.

Of course ACDSee Free is still a relatively basic viewer. It doesn’t have a thumbnail browser, for instance, and the program’s format support is strictly essentials-only (try to open a RAW or ICO file, say, and you’ll be out of luck).

The program is also fast, configurable and easy to use, though, and if a basic image viewer is all you need then ACDSee Free is definitely worth a closer look.

ACDSee was fine until about version 3 or 4.. from then it got progressively bloated and irritating to use. I've moved to XnView ages ago, it's free, blazing fast and has good features like batch conversion and so on.

It's basically ACDSee 3's interface but with modern features and it is lightning fast.

Thanks, I'm giving it a try now!

Sweet, hope you dig it.

I've also noticed you can delete everything except the EXE file and the main app will still work just fine, even batch processing, which is pretty much all I need it for.

Also, another gem.

OSFMount

Basically a portable, lightweight ISO and disk image mounter. I tend to use this since I don't want yet another app running on my PC and I don't need any advanced features that things like Demon Tools has.

Aaah, you are right, it has all the old ACDSee features that I used to love!
Thanks!
