  43 <H1>1. Introduction</H1>
  44 <P>GQview is an image viewer, that makes navigation of images easy.
  45 Images can be viewed full screen, and a slide show function allows
  46 automatic changing of the displayed image.</P>
  47 <P>GQview is an image manager, with complete copy, move, rename, and
  48 delete functions available at the press of a button. Find the right
  49 image with the search feature. Image collectors can free up space
  50 with a function that finds duplicate images.</P>
  51 <P><BR><BR>
  52 </P>
  53 <P>The one thing GQview is not, and never be, is an image editor.
  54 However, GQview paired with an image editor, such as the Gimp, can be
  55 a very powerful combination.</P>

  81 <P>&ldquo;An application that displays images.&rdquo; - This was, and
  82 still is, the primary goal of GQview. Over time image management
  83 features have been added, but the core purpose of GQview remains the
  84 same.</P>
