<H1>2.7 Status Bar</H1>
<P>The status bar contains information and details about the contents
of the main window. Information displayed includes the progress of 
generating thumbnails, the number of files in the file list with byte
size, the current file selection count including byte size, details
about the currently displayed image, and the zoom setting. The
current sort preference is also displayed, and can be adjusted from
the status bar.</P>
<P>The status bar is comprised of five sections, from left to right
these are a progress bar, sort method, file list counts, image
details, and zoom setting. Each section is described below.</P>
<P><U>Progress Bar</U></P>
<P>The Progress bar updates to display the current state of thumbnail
generation. When this section contains no text, thumbnail generation
is idle. When &ldquo;Loading thumbs...&rdquo; is displayed,
thumbnails are currently being generated when GQview is idle; the
progress bar will update to display the percentage of thumbnails that
are completed.</P>
<P><U>Sort method</U></P>
<P>This is the method used to sort image names in the file list.
Clicking or activating this field will display a menu to allow
selection of the sort method.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Name</B>: Images are sorted by file
name.<BR><B>Number</B>: Images are sorted by natural numerical order,
such that, for example, 9_name.jpg will be listed before
10_name.jpg.<BR><B>Date</B>: Images are sorted by file date on
disk.<BR><B>Size</B>: Image are sorted by file size on
disk.<BR><B>Ascending</B>: Toggles between increasing and decreasing
sort order. A check will appear next to this entry to indicate
ascending sort order.</P>
<P><U>File list</U></P>
<P>This section displays the count of files that appear in the file
list, including the total byte size. The number of files selected is
displayed in parenthesis, including the total byte size of the
selected files. The slide show status is also displayed here; when a
slide show is running, &ldquo;Slideshow&rdquo; will appear, the text
will change to &ldquo;Paused&rdquo; when a slide show is in the
paused state.</P>
<P><U>Image Details</U></P>
<P>This section displays the dimensions (width x height) and file
byte size of the image that is active in the image pane. When the
format of the file in the image pane can not be determined the
dimensions will show as &ldquo;(0 x 0)&rdquo;, in addition &ldquo;(no
read permision)&rdquo; may appear if the file permissions do not
allow reading the contents of the file.</P>
<P><U>Zoom</U></P>
<P>This section displays the current zoom ratio. A ratio of 1:1 is
the image's original size. When the left number is larger the image
is displayed larger than original size, when the right number is
larger the image is displayed smaller.</P>
<P>A tilde (~) appears within the ratio display when the zoom is set
to fit the image within the display area. In this zoom mode the ratio
is automatically adjusted, and the displayed ratio may not be the
actual ratio because the status bar display rounds the actual value
to the nearest tenth (0.1).</P>
