Description
BrickView is a Windows application designed to view LEGO® set information from the Brickset.com website.

Features
  1. You must have an account on Brickset.com for this application to work. Sign up here.
  2. Since BrickView has to download the set images to display them, the first time a set shows up in a search, it will be somewhat slow to load. However, images are cached, and subsequent searches that include that set should display much more quickly. If the image cache folder {appdir}\cache gets too large, feel free to delete all or some of the image folders within it, and BrickView will re-download the images as it needs them.
  3. The display of the results can vary with different combinations of View mode, Image size, & Group by options. This is the result of the standard Windows listview capabilities and limitations. Get into the habit of setting the different options before clicking the [Search] button.
