| 40 button to change the setting to the current folder.</P> | |

| 48 <DD STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.2in; text-decoration: none"><B>Size</B>: | |
| 49 Selects the size of the thumbnails displayed throughout GQview, | |
| 50 dimensions are width by height in pixels.</DD><DD STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.2in; text-decoration: none"> | |
| 51 <B>Quality</B>: Selects the method to use when scaling an image | |
| 52 down for thumbnails.</DD></DL> | |
| 53 </DL> | |
| 54 <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in"> | |
| 55 <B>Nearest</B>: Fastest scaler, but results in poor thumbnail | |
| 56 quality.<BR><B>Tiles</B>: Thumbnail results are very close to | |
| 57 bilinear, with better speed.<BR><B>Bilinear</B>: High quality | |
| 58 results, moderately fast.<BR><B>Hyper</B>: Slowest scaler, sometimes | |
| 59 gives better results than bilinear.</P> | |
| 60 <DL> | |
| 61 <DL> | |
| 62 <DD STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.2in"><B>Cache thumbnails</B>: Enable | |
| 63 this to save thumbnails to disk, subsequent requests for a | |
| 64 thumbnail will be faster. Thumbnails are cached into | |
| 65 ($HOME)/.gqview/thumbnails. Refer to <A HREF="11_3_thumbnails.html">11.3 | |
| 66 thumbnails</A> for details.</DD><DD STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.2in"> | |
| 67 <B>Use shared thumbnail cache:</B> This will use a thumbnail | |
| 68 caching method that is compatible with applications that use the | |
| 69 standard thumbnail specification. When this option is enabled | |
| 70 thumbnails will be stored in ($HOME)/.thumbnails</DD><DD STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.2in"> | |
| 71 <B>Cache thumbnails into .thumbnails</B>: When enabled, GQview | |
| 72 attempts to store cached thumbnails closer to the source image. | |
| 73 This way multiple users can benefit from a single cache, thereby | |
| 74 reducing wasted disk space. The resulting location is the source | |
| 75 image's folder, in a sub folder with the name <B>.thumbnails</B>. | |
| 76 When the image source folder cannot be written, GQview falls back | |
| 77 to saving the thumbnail in the user's home folder.</DD><DD STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.2in; text-decoration: none"> | |
| 78 <B>Use xvpics thumbnails when found</B>: xvpics is a common | |
| 79 thumbnail caching format used by several applications. Thumbnails | |
| 80 are stored locally to the source image in a sub folder with the | |
| 81 name <B>.xvpics</B>. Enabling this option will allow GQview to read | |
| 82 thumbnails saved in the xvpics format.</DD><DL> | |
| 83 <DL> | |
| 84 <DD STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.2in; text-decoration: none"> | |
| 85 <I>Note:</I> Support for xvpics is read only, GQview can not | |
| 86 generate thumbnails in this format.</DD></DL> | |

| 104 appears once per cycle of all images. When the slide show repeat | |
| 105 option is enabled, the image order is randomized after completing | |
