mechanism is not explained here.</I></P>

<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">Thumbnails are stored in PNG image
format. The thumbnail name is the name of the source image with
&ldquo;.png&rdquo; appended.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">The modification time (mtime) of the
thumbnail is set to match the source file. Thumbnails are regenerated
when the timestamps of the thumbnail and source file do not match.</P>

<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">Thumbnails are stored in:</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in">($HOME)/.gqview/thumbnails</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">The directory structure of the
thumbnail cache duplicates the location of the source files, for
example a source file with the name:</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in">/path/to/image.jpg</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">will store the thumbnail in:</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in">($HOME)/.gqview/thumbnails/path/to/image.jpg.png</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">When thumbnails are to be stored local
to the source file, the thumbnail will be placed in:</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in">/path/to/.thumbnails/image.jpg.png</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">Local thumbnail caching is enabled
with the option &ldquo;Cache thumbnails into .thumbnails&rdquo; on
the <A HREF="10_1_general.html">General</A> tab of the options
dialog. If it is not possible to store the thumbnail local to the
source file (usually due to no write permissions), GQview will fall
back to saving the thumbnail in the user's ($HOME)/.gqview/thumbnails
folder.</P>

<P><U>Size</U></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">GQview allows the following sizes for
thumbnails:</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in">24x24, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 96x72,
96x96, 129x96, 128x128, 160x120, 160x160, 192x144, 192x192, 256x192,
256x256</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">The thumbnail is scaled to fit within
the preferred size maintaining the aspect ratio. Thumbnails are not
cached for images that are equal to or smaller than the preferred
thumbnail size.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">When a cached thumbnail's width and
height do not match the preferred size, the thumbnail is regenerated.</P>
