Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression.
Fix the "continuous display" of tooltips in the collection view (before the tooltip delay occured once, then changing icon to icon never hide the tooltip again, now the tip is displayed shortly after the cursor moved on the icon, but disappears when moving cursor to another icon). Display the full path to the file when Show filename text is on (before nothing was displayed). When Show filename text is off, behavior is unchanged, the (short) filename is displayed.

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">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">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 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>
