+This is Geeqie, a successor of GQview.
+Geeqie has been forked from GQview project, because it was not possible to
+contact GQview author and the only maintainer. Geeqie projects goal is to move
+the development forward and also integrate the existing patches.

-======== Notes and changes for this release [section:release_notes]
-
- Changes:
-
- + Add Pan View window (name pending) for displaying images as a timeline,
- calendar, folder tree, folder flower (name pending) and basic grid.
- Keyboard shortcut for Pan View is Control + J (may change in future).
- + Panning an image with the mouse while holding down the shift key will
- increase speed.
- + Add 'Fast jpeg thumbnailing' option, on by default.
- - Demote xvpics support to a hidden option.
- - Update French translation.
-
-
- Notes:
-
- For translation status list, see further below.
-
- 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.
+## Requirements
+
+ Required libraries:
+ GTK+ 3.00
+ www.gtk.org
+ enabled by default
+ disable with configure option: --disable-gtk3
+ or
+ GTK+ 2.20
+ disabled by default when GTK+3 libraries are found.
+ enable with configure option: --disable-gtk3
+ 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.
+
+ Optional libraries:
+ lcms2 2.0
+ or
+ lcms 1.14
+ www.littlecms.com
+ for color management support
+ enabled by default
+ disable with configure option: --disable-lcms
+
+ exiv2 0.11
+ www.exiv2.org
+ for enhanced exif support
+ enabled by default
+ disable with configure option: --disable-exiv2
+
+ lirc
+ www.lirc.org
+ for remote control support
+ enabled by default
+ disable with configure option: --disable-lirc
+
+ libchamplain-gtk 0.12
+ libchamplain 0.12
+ libclutter 1.0
+ wiki.gnome.org/Projects/libchamplain
+ for map display
+ disabled by default
+ enable with configure option: --enable-map
+ enabling will also enable GPU acceleration
+
+ libclutter 1.0
+ www.clutter-project.org
+ for GPU acceleration (a check-box on Preferences/Image must also be ticked)
+ disabled by default
+ enable with configure option: --enable-gpu-accel
+ explicitly disabling will also disable the map feature
+
+ lua 5.1
+ www.lua.org
+ support for lua scripting
+ enabled by default
+ disable with configure option: --disable-lua
+

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!

-======== Installation
+## Installation
- Compilation: ./configure ; make
+ Compilation: ./autogen.sh ; make
+ Show compile options: ./autogen.sh --help
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}/
