http://www.falconview.org/trac/FalconView/wiki/OpenSourceFeatureshis page contains a summary of the features of FalconView Open Source along with some screen captures that illustrate those features. FalconView includes a plugin architecture that makes it easy to add new features as well.

Looks interesting, however "Due to legal issues, the download of FalconView Open Source version has been (hopefully temporarily) removed."
