* Images can be displayed singly in normal or fullscreen mode; static or slideshow mode; in sets of two or four per page for comparison; or as thumbnails of various sizes. Synchronised zoom when multi images are displayed.
* Maps from [OpenStreetMap](http://www.openstreetmap.org) may be displayed in a side panel. If an image has GPS coordinates embedded, its position will be displayed on the map - if Image Direction is encoded, that will be displayed also. If an image does not have embedded GPS coordinates, it may be dragged-and-dropped onto the map to encode its position.

## Downloading
-Geeqie is available as a package with some distributions.
+Geeqie is available:
-The source tar of the latest formal release may be downloaded: <http://geeqie.org/geeqie-1.3.tar.xz>
+* as a package with some distributions.
-However Geeqie is stable, and you may download the latest version (if you have installed git) from here:
+* as a [flatpak](https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.geeqie.Geeqie) from the [Flathub site](https://flathub.org/home).
-Either: `git clone git://www.geeqie.org/geeqie.git`
+* as an [AppImage](https://cclark.uk/Geeqie).
-Or: `git clone http://www.geeqie.org/git/geeqie.git`
+However Geeqie is stable and you may compile the latest version from sources.
+
+There are two scripts which will download and compile the sources for you.
+
+The first script will install Geeqie to a defined location, and will run under any system. However, it is left to you to make sure dependencies are fulfilled.
+To get the script, from the command line type:<br/><br/>
+`wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pixlsus/Scripts/master/build-geeqie`
+The second script will run only on Debian-based system, but will fulfil all dependencies and also give you the opportunity to include additional pixbuf loaders and other useful programs.
+To get the script, from the command line type:<br/><br/>
+`wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/master/web/geeqie-install-debian.sh`
-## Installation
-Update secondary help documents (optional - requires use of git):
- `./gen_changelog.sh ; markdown README.md > README.html`
+If you wish to compile the sources yourself you may download the latest version (if you have installed git) from here:
+
+Either: `git clone git://www.geeqie.org/geeqie.git`
+
+Or: `git clone http://www.geeqie.org/git/geeqie.git`
+
+## Manual Installation
List compile options: `./autogen.sh --help`
Removal: `[sudo] make uninstall`
#### Note:
-The zip files at GitHub contain only the sources - they cannot, by themselves, be used to install Geeqie.
+The zip and gzip files at geeqie.org and GitHub contain only the sources - they cannot, by themselves, be used to install Geeqie.
It is recommended to always use `git clone git://www.geeqie.org/geeqie.git` to download Geeqie. After installing Geeqie you may delete the folder you have cloned Geeqie into.
However if you leave the folder intact, whenever new features or patches are available, execute:
-`git pull; sudo make uninstall; sudo make distclean; ./autogen.sh; make -j<no. of cpu cores>; sudo make install`
+`git pull; sudo make uninstall; sudo make maintainer-clean; ./autogen.sh; make -j<no. of cpu cores>; sudo make install`
Only the changed sources are downloaded, which makes this a quick operation.

## Requirements
optional items map display and GPU acceleration are not available
with GTK2
- Note: GTK+3 is still somehow experimental. It is needed for some
- features but we have several complains about the GTK+3 usability.
-
- So if you need a stable version, you are advised to compile it
- with GTK+2. If you want to play with the cool new features, use
- GTK+3.
+ Both GTK2 and GTK3 versions have been in use for several
+ years, and both may be considered stable.
