This is Geeqie, a successor of GQview. Geeqie has been forked from GQview project, because it was not possible to contact gqview author and the only maintainer. Geeqie projects goal is to move the development forward and also integrate the existing patches. Geeqie is currently in alpha state. Everybody is encouraged to try the new features, however for stable software look at the original project. For more info see: http://geeqie.sourceforge.net Vladimir Nadvornik Petr Ostadal Please send any question or suggestions to geeqie-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Bellow is the original README: ################################################################### ## GQview 2.1.5 (December 3, 2006) ## ## ## ## Copyright (C) 1999 - 2006 John Ellis. ## ## ## ## Use at your own risk! ## ## ## ## This software released under the GNU General Public License. ## ## Please read the COPYING file for more information. ## ################################################################### Author: John Ellis <johne@verizon.net> e-mail: gqview@users.sourceforge.net homepage: http://gqview.sourceforge.net BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! The 2.1.x series are all development releases, and as such may contain incredible bugs. Only use if interested in the new features. The stable release as of this writing is 2.0.0. BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! BETA! ======== README contents: * Requirements * Notes and changes for this release * Installation * Description / Features * Documentation (keyboard shortcuts) * Editor command macros * Additional comments * Translation status * Credits ======== Requirements Required libraries: GTK+ 2.4.x: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk Optional libraries: lcms, for color management support: http://www.littlecms.com (disable with configure option: '--without-lcms') ======== Notes and changes for this release [section:release_notes] Changes: + Add support for color profiles (requires lcms, see Notes). + Add ability to delete a folder and it's contents (with restrictions). - Add support for jpegs embedded in pentax and olympus raw files. - Add icons for image state, enabled with I keyboard shortcut. - For pan view calendar only show months that contain an image. - Make scrolling with overlays (full screen info display) a bit smoother. - Make sort menus display choices as radio group instead of checkbox. - Use white background for transparent images when printing. * Escape filename characters "`$\ before passing them to the system shell when running an editor command. * Fix occasional crash in icon view when removing files. * Always use aligned memory access in EXIF parser, fixes crash with BUS error on sparc. * Fix progress bar warning when removing files while loading thumbnails. * Fix image count in full screen information overlay when in slideshow. * Fix memory leak when unable to start a slideshow. Notes: For translation status list, see further below. Version in perenthesis indicates first appearance of feature or change. (2.1.5) Add support for color profiles when lcms is installed. To disable color profiles and use of lcms, run configure with '--without-lcms'. (2.1.1) Add support for viewing jpeg images and EXIF embedded within raw files for Canon (.crw, .cr2) Fujifilm (.raf), and Nikon (.nef). Note that not all cameras that support a raw format will necessarily save a usable jpeg in the raw file (for example some Nikon cameras only store a tiny thumbnail within the raw .nef file). (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. This is especially true if the change is listed in the TODO! -John ( johne@verizon.net ) Known bugs: see the TODO file. ======== Installation Compilation: ./configure ; make General install: make install Removal: make uninstall - To build an RPM binary: on RedHat 6.x, 7.x use 'rpm -tb gqview-x.x.x.tar.gz'. on RedHat 8 and 9 use 'rpmbuild -tb gqview-x.x.x.tar.gz'. on other rpm distros, it depends on which version of rpm is used, if the option fails with the rpm command, try rpmbuild. Where the resulting package is placed is distribution specific, for example in RedHat it is placed in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/{architecture}/ ======== Description / Features GQview is a graphics file viewer.

Use of the following to display output window for the command: %v Display result of command in output window, must occur as first two characters in the command, or immediately after the "%w" macro. %V Like v above, but when used with %p, only displays output window for multiple files. The output of a single file is suppressed. Additional macros: %w Prevent full screen from deactivating when command is executed, must occur as the first two characters. ======== Additional comments: Advanced options: These options are not adjustable in the preferences window, to change them edit $(HOME)/.gqview/gqviewrc while GQview is not running. An option becomes 'advanced' when it is removed from the user's visibility, and only remains so that those few users that really want it will not complain about it's removal :) lazy_image_sync: false Set true to enable the old behavior of lazy image updates when changing directories. (viewed image will remain until a new file is selected) display_dialogs_under_mouse: false Set true to force dialogs to display under the current mouse position, note that this goes against the preference set for the window manager. ======== Translation status: (as of 2.1.5) Please send po files/patches in gzipped form to ensure data integrity. Note: completion % in the chart below may not be quite correct when fuzzy translations exist but do not appear in the source. comp % = trans / (trans + fuzzy + untrans) Language Comp (%) Trans Fuzzy Untrans Warn -------------------------------------------------- ar 60 449 192 103 be 95 712 18 14 bg 89 667 44 33 ca 89 667 44 33 cs 89 667 44 33 da 18 138 324 282 de 89 667 44 33 eo 95 708 22 14 es 89 667 44 33 et 27 204 322 218 eu 95 712 18 14 fi 89 669 42 33 fr 94 706 21 17 hu 50 374 226 144 id 27 208 323 213 it 94 704 23 17 ja 89 667 44 33 ko 15 114 16 614 nl 89 669 42 33 no 22 169 335 240 pl 84 631 22 91 pt_BR 94 704 23 17 ro 52 388 228 128 ru 89 667 44 33 sk 92 690 24 30 sl 20 155 341 248 sv 89 665 45 34 th 21 161 332 251 tr 9 71 323 350 uk 24 180 331 233 vi 94 705 22 17 zh_CN.GB2312 22 169 335 240 zh_TW 93 695 23 26 -------------------------------------------------- ======== Credits [section:credits] Translations: Grzegorz Kowal <g_kowal@poczta.onet.pl> Zbigniew Chyla <cyba@gnome.pl> Emil Nowak <emil5@go2.pl> Wit Wilinski <wit.wilinski@gmail.com> for Polish translation Christopher R.
