(2.1.1) Add support for viewing jpeg images and EXIF embedded within
raw files for Canon (.crw, .cr2) Fujifilm (.raf), and Nikon (.nef).
(1.3.6) A middle button click will now toggle selection of clicked item.

variable), and prints errors on the console when they do not.
(1.3.3) Safe delete does not include undo, you will need to go to the

trash size limit is reached.

can avoid duplication of effort. A good example is porting any part of
GQview that uses deprecated widgets to GTK2 widgets, there are already
several such patches floating around. This is especially true if the
change is listed in the TODO!

======== Editor command macros [section:editors]
Any one of the following filename markers may be used:
%f Replaced with list of selected files, may occur once.
%p Command is run once for each selected file, may occur multiple times.
- none When neither %f or %p exist, list of files is appended to command.
-
+
Use of the following to display output window for the command:
%v Display result of command in output window, must occur as first two
%w Prevent full screen from deactivating when command is executed,
must occur as the first two characters.
+ %% This will be replaced by one '%'. This is the way to escape '%'.
+
+ %d This only makes sense for external commands like copy or move as this
+ is replaced by the destination.
+
+======== Overlay Info [section:overlay]
+
+Overlay info format string syntax is: %tag[:max_length][:extra]%
+
+ %name% Filename of the picture.
+ %collection% Name of the collection
+ %number% Current number of image in the list
+ %total% Total number of images
+ %date% File date
+ %size% File size
+ %width% Image width
+ %height% Image height
+ %res% Image resolution
+ %keywords% Image keywords from metadata
+ %comment% Image comment from metadata
+
+ To access exif data use the exif name:
+ %Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal% Date of the original shot
+
+ Pre-formatted exif data is also available:
+ formatted.Camera Camera and sofware name
+ formatted.DateTime Image Date
+ formatted.ShutterSpeed Shutter speed in seconds (ie. 1/60s)
+ formatted.Aperture Aperture (ie. f5.6)
+ formatted.ExposureBias Exposure bias (ie. +0.3)
+ formatted.ISOSpeedRating ISO sensitivity (ie. 100)
+ formatted.FocalLength Focal length
+ formatted.FocalLength35mmFilm Focal length 35mm
+ formatted.SubjectDistance Subject distance
+ formatted.Flash Flash
+ formatted.Resolution Resolution
+ formatted.ColorProfile Color profile
+ formatted.GPSPosition GPS position
+ formatted.GPSAltitude GPS altitude
+
+ You can limit the length of displayed data using :number notation:
+ %formatted.Camera:20% will truncate the displayed data to 20 characters
+ and will add 3 dots at the end to denote the truncation.
+
+ If two or more variables are connected with the |-sign, it prints available
+ variables with a separator:
+ %formatted.ShutterSpeed%|%formatted.ISOSpeedRating%|%formatted.FocalLength%
+ could show:
+ "1/20s - 400 - 80 mm"
+ or
+ "1/200 - 80 mm" if there's no ISO information in the Exif data.
+
+ If a line is empty, it is removed.
+ This allows to add lines that totally disappear when no data is available.
+
+ Extra string uses special character '*' to mark the position of the data.
+ If no '*' is present, then extra string is just appended to data.
+ Any "\n" is replaced by a newline on display.
+ Pango mark up is accepted in left and right parts.
+ If data is empty, nothing will be displayed.
+
+ Examples:
+ "%name:<i>*</i>\n%" -> name is displayed in italics ended with a newline
+ "%size:\n%" -> size is displayed with a newline at end
+ "%formatted.ISOSpeedRating:ISO *%" -> ie. "ISO 100"
+ "Collection <b>*</b>\n" -> display collection name in bold prefixed by
+ "Collection " and a newline is appended
+
+
======== Additional comments:
- Advanced options:
+ Hidden options:
These options are not adjustable in the preferences window, to change
- them edit $(HOME)/.gqview/gqviewrc while GQview is not running. An option
- becomes 'advanced' when it is removed from the user's visibility, and
+ them edit $(HOME)/.geeqie/geeqierc while Geeqie is not running. An option
+ becomes 'hidden' when it is removed from the user's visibility, and
only remains so that those few users that really want it will not complain
about it's removal :)
Set true to force dialogs to display under the current mouse position,
note that this goes against the preference set for the window manager.
