This is a request to simply port out RAM Player functionality to a standalone, lightweight viewer.
RAM Player could still remain as a tool within MAX, but a standalone clone of RAM Player would give us the option to check the progress of a rendered sequence of frames without interrupting the rendering process.
A standalone RAM Player would also be useful as an image viewer. We could simply associate image file types to RAM Player so that single images and image sequences could be viewed quickly from the Windows file system without the overhead of loading Max or other programs, like After Effects.
Thanks for reading!
