  <dt>Descend folders in tree view</dt>
  <dd>
  <p>This will allow Geeqie to read sub folder content to determine if it should display expander indicators in the folder tree view.</p>
  <p class="note"><span class="note_label">Note:</span> Disable this if Geeqie wakes up auto mounted network shares, or takes too long to initially display the folder view.</p>
  </dd>
  <dt>In place renaming</dt>
  <dd><p>When renaming a single file, this will allow the rename entry to appear directly over the original filename.</p></dd>

  </dl>

  <h2>Navigation</h2>

  <dl class="dialog_desc">
  <dt>Progressive keyboard scrolling</dt>
  <dd><p>This will cause image panning speed to gradually accelerate when holding down the keyboard arrows.</p></dd>

  <dt>Mouse wheel scrolls image</dt>
  <dd><p>The default is for the mouse wheel to change the image, and to scroll the image when shift is used in combination with the wheel. Enabling this swaps the behavior so that operating the wheel will scroll the image, and holding down shift will change the image.</p></dd>
  </dl>

  <h2>Miscellaneous</h2>

  <dl class="dialog_desc">

  <dt>Store keywords and comments local to source images</dt>
  <dd><p> When enabled, Geeqie attempts to store metadata such as keywords closer to the source image. The resulting location is the source image's folder, in a sub folder with the name "<em>.metadata"</em>. When the image source folder cannot be written, Geeqie falls back to saving the medata in "$HOME/.geeqie/metadata".</p></dd>

  <dt>Custom similarity threshold</dt>
  <dd><p>This setting is used by the compare method &ldquo;similarity (custom)&rdquo;, located in the Find Duplicates window.</p></dd>

  <dt>Offscreen cache size</dt>
  <dd><p>Geeqie only renders the visible portion of an image. To reduce rendering the same area frequently when panning an image, some memory is used to retain the recently rendered image data. This value controls the maximum amount of memory to use.</p>
  <p class="note"><span class="note_label">Note:</span> This setting controls the amount of memory for <em>each</em> image window.</p>
