image.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none">
<B>Nearest</B>: Fastest scaler, but results in poor image
quality.<BR><B>Tiles</B>: Results are somewhat close to bilinear,
with better speed.<BR><B>Bilinear</B>: High quality results,
moderately fast.<BR><B>Hyper</B>: Slowest scaler, sometimes gives
better results than bilinear.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none">
<B>Two pass zooming</B>: Enables GQview to first display a scaled
image using the nearest zoom quality. After image decoding is
complete, the image is scaled again using the selected &ldquo;Zoom
(scaling)&rdquo; method. This allows faster display of an image as it
is decoded from the source file.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none">
<B>Allow enlargement of image for zoom to fit</B>: Enable this to
allow GQview to increase the image size for images that are smaller
than the current view area when the zoom is set to &ldquo;Fit to
Window&rdquo;.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none">
<B>Zoom increment</B>: Adjusts the step size when zooming in or out
on an image. This value corresponds to the percentage of the original

<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Refresh on file change</B>: GQview
will monitor currently active images and folders for changes in their
modification time, and update the display if it changes.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in"><I>Note:</I> Disable this if the
system will not go into sleep mode due to occasional disk activity
from the time check, or if GQview updates too often for folders with
continuously changing content.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; text-decoration: none"><B>Preload next
image</B>: Enabling this option will cause GQview to read the next
logical image from disk when idle, it will also retain the previously
viewed image in memory. By reading the nearest images into memory,
time to display the next image is reduced.</P>
