+ Below are GQView releases:
(2.1.5) Add support for color profiles when lcms is installed. To
disable color profiles and use of lcms, run configure
with '--without-lcms'.
(1.3.6) A middle button click will now toggle selection of clicked item.

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!

+ Geeqie is a graphics file viewer. Basic features:
- Single click image viewing / navigation.
- Zoom functions.
======== Documentation (brief) [section:documentation]
+FIXME: do we need this section? The keyboard configuration dialog should provide
+correct up-to-date list.
+
Keyboard commands:
[PageDown], [Keypad PageDown] next image
[PageUp], [Keypad PageUp] previous image
[ rotate image counterclockwise
[Shift] - R rotate image 180 degrees
[Shift] - M mirror image (horizontal)
- [Shift] - F flip image (verticle)
+ [Shift] - F flip image (vertical)
[Shift] - G grayscale image
View menu related:
Wheel up/down + [Shift] scroll image up/down
Wheel up/down + [Control] zoom image in/out
-======== 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
- characters in the command, or immediately after the "%w" macro.
- %V Like v above, but when used with %p, only displays output window for
- multiple files. The output of a single file is suppressed.
+======== Editor command macros [section:editors]
- Additional macros:
+Editors are configured via standard desktop files, see
+http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/
+
+FIXME: Geeqie extensions
+
+
+======== 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
- %w Prevent full screen from deactivating when command is executed,
- must occur as the first two characters.
======== Additional comments:
- Advanced options:
+FIXME: here are some changes
+
+ 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.
