-======== Requirements
+## Requirements
Required libraries:
- GTK+ 2.??.x: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk
-FIXME: determine realistic requirements.
-It compiles with GTK 2.10, but some features are disabled and the testing was
-minimal. Please report success or falilures.
+ 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:
- lcms, for color management support: http://www.littlecms.com
- (disable with configure option: '--without-lcms')
- exiv2, for enhanced exif support: http://www.exiv2.org/
- (disable with configure option: '--without-exiv2')
- - due to fast development, newer versions work significantly better
- FIXME: minimal version ?
- lirc, for remote control support: http://www.lirc.org/
- (disable with configure option: '--disable-lirc')
- libchamplain - experimental map support, dissabled by default
- http://projects.gnome.org/libchamplain/
- WARNING: this library has a lot of dependencise

To access exif data use the exif name:
%Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal% Date of the original shot
formatted.GPSAltitude GPS altitude
You can limit the length of displayed data using :number notation:
- %formatted.Camera:20% will truncate the displayed data to 20 characters
- and will add 3 dots at the end to denote the truncation.
+ %formatted.Camera:20% will truncate the displayed data to 20 characters and

If two or more variables are connected with the |-sign, it prints available
variables with a separator:
or
"1/200 - 80 mm" if there's no ISO information in the Exif data.
- If a line is empty, it is removed.
- This allows to add lines that totally disappear when no data is available.

- 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.
