+## Features
Geeqie is a graphics file viewer. Basic features:
* Collections.
-* support for stereoscopic images
+* Support for stereoscopic images
* input: side-by-side (JPS) and MPO format
* output: single image, anaglyph, SBS, mirror, SBS half size (3DTV)
* Viewing raster and vector images, in the following formats:
-3FR, ANI, APM, ARW, BMP, CR2, CRW, CUR, DNG, ERF, GIF, ICNS, ICO, JPE/JPEG/JPG, JPS, KDC, MEF, MPO, MOS, MRW, NEF, ORF, PEF, PTX, PBM/PGM/PNM/PPM, PNG, QIF/QTIF (QuickTime Image Format), RAF, RAW, RW2, SR2, SRF, SVG/SVGZ, TGA/TARGA, TIF/TIFF, WMF, XBM, XPM. Animated GIFs are supported.
+3FR, ANI, APM, ARW, AVIF, BMP, CR2, CR3, CRW, CUR, DDS, DjVu, DNG, ERF, GIF, HEIC, HEIF, ICNS, ICO, JP2. JPE/JPEG/JPG, JPEG XL, JPS, KDC, MEF, MOS, MPO, MRW, NEF, ORF, PBM/PGM/PNM/PPM, PEF, PNG, PSD, PTX, QIF/QTIF (QuickTime Image Format), RAF, RAW, RW2, SR2, SRF, SVG/SVGZ, TGA/TARGA, TIF/TIFF, WEBP, WMF, XBM, XPM.
+ * Display images in archive files (.ZIP, .RAR etc.).
+ * Animated GIFs are supported.
* Preview and thumbnails of video clips can be displayed. Clips can be run via a defined external program.
* 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.
+* Speed of operation can be increased by caching thumbnails and similarity data of images. When Geeqie is run as a stand-alone command line program (`geeqie --cache-maintenance <path>`) these data will be recursively created from the defined start point. This program can be called from `cron` or `anacron` so that cache updating is automatically done at specified intervals.

+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`
-The source tar of the latest formal release may be downloaded: <http://geeqie.org/geeqie-1.3.tar.xz>
-However Geeqie is stable, and you may download the latest version (if you have installed git) from here:
+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`

-## Installation
+## Manual Installation
List compile options: `./autogen.sh --help`
Common options:
`./autogen.sh --disable-gtk3`,
-Compilation: `./autogen.sh [options]; make -j<no. of cpu cores> `
+Compilation: `./autogen.sh [options]; make -j`
Install: `[sudo] make install`
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.
