35 </term><listitem><para/></listitem></varlistentry></variablelist>
37 This will restrict the maximum size a window can grow to automatically fit an image. The value represents the percentage of the desktop size in width and height.

46 Selects the location and position of the full screen window. 'Determined by window manager' will leave the window placement up to the window manager. 'Active screen' places the window on the same screen as the Geeqie main window. 'Active monitor' does the same, but limits the full screen window size to the monitor containing the main window. The remaining choices are dependent on the multiple monitor configuration.
48 <variablelist><varlistentry><term>
49 Stay above other windows
50 </term><listitem><para/></listitem></varlistentry></variablelist>
52 Enable this to have Geeqie ask the window manager to keep the full screen window above other windows. Note that the window manager may ignore the request. This option is not relevant when the full screen location is determined by the window manager.
54 <variablelist><varlistentry><term>
56 </term><listitem><para/></listitem></varlistentry></variablelist>
58 This option delays the image change in full screen until the next image is entirely decoded into memory, the result is a smoother transition between images.

62 </term><listitem><para/></listitem></varlistentry></variablelist>
64 This option will execute <emphasis role="i">xscreensaver-command --deactivate</emphasis> once per minute to avoid the screen saver from activating when Geeqie is displayed full screen.

240 You can limit the length of displayed data using :number notation: <literal>%formatted.Camera:20%</literal> will truncate the displayed data to 20 characters and will add 3 dots at the end to denote the truncation.
243 If two or more variables are connected with the -sign, it prints available variables with a separator:<?db2html element="br"?>
244 <literal>%formatted.ShutterSpeed% %formatted.ISOSpeedRating% %formatted.FocalLength%</literal><?db2html element="br"?>
245 could show:<?db2html element="br"?>
246 "1/20s - 400 - 80 mm"<?db2html element="br"?>
247 or<?db2html element="br"?>
248 "1/200 - 80 mm" if there's no ISO information in the Exif data.<?db2html element="br"?>
251 If a line is empty, it is removed. This allows one to add lines that totally disappear when no data is available.
254 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.
