+
+ Version in perenthesis indicates first appearance of feature or change.
+
+ (1.5.6) The "shared thumbnail cache" is a proposal to unify the method
+ of storing thumbnails, so that they are compatible between different
+ applications. Using this option will allow GQview to share it's
+ thumbnails with, and use thumbnails from, other applications. Current
+ releases of GNOME (through nautilus and gthumb) and the gimp use this
+ new thumbnailing system. The latest draft of the thumbnail standard
+ is located on freedesktop.org in the standards section, and links to:
+
+ http://triq.net/~jens/thumbnail-spec/index.html
+
+ The shared thumbnail standard and GQview's classic mechanism can
+ not be used at the same time, enabling the "use shared thumbnail cache"
+ option will disable the use of classic thumbnails and use the new
+ shared thumbnails.
+
+ (1.5.6) Collections contained in $HOME/.gqview/collections are now
+ updated when moving or renaming files, even if the collection is not
+ open at the time.
+
+ (1.5.6) The new option to the keep the full screen window above other
+ windows is only available when using at least GTK+ 2.4.0
+
+ (1.5.5) Dialog buttons are now ordered as recommended by the GNOME HIG.
+ The GNOME Human Interface Guidelines live at:
+ http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/
+ To restore the old button order you must be using GTK 2.6 and set
+ the "gtk-alternative-button-order" key to TRUE in the gtkrc file:
+ $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0
+ by changing or adding this line:
+ gtk-alternative-button-order = 1
+
+ (1.5.5) The dithering option is now a hidden option, to change it
+ please refer to section 10.7 of the manual (help -> contents).
+
+ (1.5.0) Keywords and comments can now be entered for a file. Two places
+ allow keyword and comment entry. The first is via the new image details
+ sidebar accessed with (Ctrl-K), and the second is a details tab in the
+ properties dialog. If multiple files are selected, two buttons are
+ available: One allows adding the keywords to the selected files, the
+ other replaces existing keywords with the new keywords.
+
+ Keyword and comment metadata is stored in $(HOME)/.gqview/metadata, and
+ mirrors the existing filesystem tree. Metadata filenames have a suffix
+ of .meta appended. If 'cache into .thumbnails' is enabled, metadata is
+ stored locally to the original file in a hidden subfolder ".metadata".
+ If write permissions do not allow local saving of metadata, GQview falls
+ back to the default $(HOME)/.gqview/metadata location.
+
+ (1.5.0) Search dialog (F3 key) types:
+ Path searches files in the entered folder.
+ Comments searches all file metadata stored in ~/.gqview/metadata.
+ Results searches the current list of results, allowing refinement.
+
+ (1.3.6) Drag and drop has been significantly improved, with a few
+ changes. Button 1 will now initiate a drag, button 2 will still work
+ for this, the difference is button 2 will not change the selection.
+
+ (1.3.6) A middle button click will now toggle selection of clicked item.
+
+ (1.3.5) UTF-8 and filenames: GQview works fine if your filenames
+ correctly match the prefered locale encoding (LANG environment
+ variable), and prints errors on the console when they do not.
+
+ (1.3.3) Safe delete does not include undo, you will need to go to the
+ trash folder and retrieve the file(s) manually. The files can be viewed
+ by clicking the view button near the safe delete option in the preferences
+ window. Files moved to the trash folder are prefixed with a 6 digit
+ number. Lower numbers are older, and deleted (permanently) first when the
+ trash size limit is reached.
+
+ (1.3.2) New in 1.3.2 are sidebars for exif data display and a sort
+ manager. Exif (ctrl + E) should be self explanatory. The Sort manager is a
+ directory list that allows copying or moving the displayed image to that
+ destination with one click of the button - very helpful when visually
+ sorting many images into subdirectories. To edit, reorder, or remove items
+ in the sort list, use the right click menu. The keyboard can also be used
+ by moving the focus to the desired button, then pressing menu/ctrl+f10 key
+ to display the popup menu, or shift+up/shift+down keys to change the
+ button location in the list. Items can also be added to the list by
+ dragging a directory onto the list.
+
+ Code hackers:
+
+ If you plan on making any major changes to the code that will be offered
+ for inclusion to the main source, please contact me first - so that we
+ 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!

+
+ see the TODO file.
======== Installation
General install: make install
Removal: make uninstall
+ - To build an RPM binary:
+
+ on RedHat 6.x, 7.x use 'rpm -tb gqview-x.x.x.tar.gz'.
+ on RedHat 8 and 9 use 'rpmbuild -tb gqview-x.x.x.tar.gz'.
+ on other rpm distros, it depends on which version of rpm is used, if
+ the option fails with the rpm command, try rpmbuild.
+
+ Where the resulting package is placed is distribution specific, for
+ example in RedHat it is placed in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/{architecture}/
+

+ multiple files. The output of a single file is suppressed.
+
+======== Additional comments:
+
+ Advanced 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
+ only remains so that those few users that really want it will not complain
+ about it's removal :)
+
+ lazy_image_sync: false
+ Set true to enable the old behavior of lazy image updates when changing
+ directories. (viewed image will remain until a new file is selected)
+
+ display_dialogs_under_mouse: false
+ Set true to force dialogs to display under the current mouse position,
+ note that this goes against the preference set for the window manager.
+
+======== Translation status:
+
+ (as of 1.5.8)
+
+ Please send po files/patches in gzipped form to ensure data integrity.
