PREVIEW RELEASE! PREVIEW RELEASE! + + The stable version at the time of this release is GQview 1.4.5 + + PREVIEW RELEASE! PREVIEW RELEASE! PREVIEW RELEASE! + + +======== README contents: + + * Requirements + * Notes and changes for this release + * Installation + * Description / Features + * Documentation (keyboard shortcuts) + * Editor command macros + * Additional comments + * Translation status + * Credits ======== Requirements - GTK+-1.2.x: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk - Imlib 1.9: ftp://ftp.labs.redhat.com/pub/imlib + GTK+ 2.4.x: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk + +======== Notes and changes for this release [section:release_notes] + + Changes since 1.5.8: -======== Notes and changes for this release + - Set default image for similarity in a search to the current image. + - Update Italian translation. + * Fix main window keyboard shortcuts for editor commands. + * Fix thumbnail memory leak in file list view. + * Fix searching by keywords to ignore case. + * Fix writing of image data to cache in search utility. + + New features in 2.0 (since 1.4.5): - Changes: - > New translations for es, fr, sk, and updated tr. - > Mouse wheel scrolls image, or optionally changes image - next or back. (Wheel must be mapped to buttons 4 and 5) - * Fix to include RPM spec file in source. + + Search utility. + + Ability to assign keywords and comments to an image. + + Printing, including proof sheets. + + Support for the Thumbnail Managing Standard, on by default. + + Fullscreen support for multihead configurations. + + Fullscreen can now delay showing next image until it is loaded. + + Image information now viewable in fullscreen (I key). + + Extensive user manual. + + Command line control of existing GQview process. + + Collections are now updated when moving or renaming a file. + - Shift + Click on an image will start mouse scrolling. + - Control + Arrows will jump to respective edges of image. + - Slideshow interval precision is now .1 second. + - Find duplicates by checksum now uses MD5 algorithm. + - Exif sidebar can now be customized. + - Sort manager now has symlink option. + - Sort manager can now add images to collections. + - Window maximization state now retained between sessions. + - Clean up all dialogs. + - Added hidden option scroll_reset_method (see docs chapter 10.7). + - Maintenance utility for caches and data used by GQview. + - Utility to create thumbnails ahead of time in one step. + - Now requires GTK+ >= 2.4 Notes: - bt_br.po is corrupt (my fault). + + For translation status list, see further below. + + Version in perenthesis indicates first appearance of feature or change. + + (1.5.6) The "shared thumbnail cache" is a proposal to unify the method + of storing thumbnails, so that they are compatible between different + applications. Using this option will allow GQview to share it's + thumbnails with, and use thumbnails from, other applications. Current + releases of GNOME (through nautilus and gthumb) and the gimp use this + new thumbnailing system. The latest draft of the thumbnail standard + is located on freedesktop.org in the standards section, and links to: + + http://triq.net/~jens/thumbnail-spec/index.html + + The shared thumbnail standard and GQview's classic mechanism can + not be used at the same time, enabling the "use shared thumbnail cache" + option will disable the use of classic thumbnails and use the new + shared thumbnails. + + (1.5.6) Collections contained in $HOME/.gqview/collections are now + updated when moving or renaming files, even if the collection is not + open at the time. + + (1.5.6) The new option to the keep the full screen window above other + windows is only available when using at least GTK+ 2.4.0 + + (1.5.5) Dialog buttons are now ordered as recommended by the GNOME HIG. + The GNOME Human Interface Guidelines live at: + http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/ + To restore the old button order you must be using GTK 2.6 and set + the "gtk-alternative-button-order" key to TRUE in the gtkrc file: + $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 + by changing or adding this line: + gtk-alternative-button-order = 1 + + (1.5.5) The dithering option is now a hidden option, to change it + please refer to section 10.7 of the manual (help -> contents). + + (1.5.0) Keywords and comments can now be entered for a file. Two places + allow keyword and comment entry. The first is via the new image details + sidebar accessed with (Ctrl-K), and the second is a details tab in the + properties dialog. If multiple files are selected, two buttons are + available: One allows adding the keywords to the selected files, the + other replaces existing keywords with the new keywords. + + Keyword and comment metadata is stored in $(HOME)/.gqview/metadata, and + mirrors the existing filesystem tree. Metadata filenames have a suffix + of .meta appended. If 'cache into .thumbnails' is enabled, metadata is + stored locally to the original file in a hidden subfolder ".metadata". + If write permissions do not allow local saving of metadata, GQview falls + back to the default $(HOME)/.gqview/metadata location. + + (1.5.0) Search dialog (F3 key) types: + Path searches files in the entered folder. + Comments searches all file metadata stored in ~/.gqview/metadata. + Results searches the current list of results, allowing refinement. + + (1.3.6) Drag and drop has been significantly improved, with a few + changes. Button 1 will now initiate a drag, button 2 will still work + for this, the difference is button 2 will not change the selection. + + (1.3.6) A middle button click will now toggle selection of clicked item. + + (1.3.5) UTF-8 and filenames: GQview works fine if your filenames + correctly match the prefered locale encoding (LANG environment + variable), and prints errors on the console when they do not. + + (1.3.3) Safe delete does not include undo, you will need to go to the + trash folder and retrieve the file(s) manually. The files can be viewed + by clicking the view button near the safe delete option in the preferences + window. Files moved to the trash folder are prefixed with a 6 digit + number. Lower numbers are older, and deleted (permanently) first when the + trash size limit is reached. + + (1.3.2) New in 1.3.2 are sidebars for exif data display and a sort + manager. Exif (ctrl + E) should be self explanatory. The Sort manager is a + directory list that allows copying or moving the displayed image to that + destination with one click of the button - very helpful when visually + sorting many images into subdirectories. To edit, reorder, or remove items + in the sort list, use the right click menu. The keyboard can also be used + by moving the focus to the desired button, then pressing menu/ctrl+f10 key + to display the popup menu, or shift+up/shift+down keys to change the + button location in the list. Items can also be added to the list by + dragging a directory onto the list. + + Code hackers: + + If you plan on making any major changes to the code that will be offered + for inclusion to the main source, please contact me first - so that we + can avoid duplication of effort. A good example is porting any part of + GQview that uses deprecated widgets to GTK2 widgets, there are already + several such patches floating around.
