Wed Nov 15 02:05:27 2006 John Ellis <johne@verizon.net> * view_file_icon.c: Fix odd crash when removing files, it seems the high priority idle sync is no longer called before the treeview tries to redraw itself, so fix the cleanup of removed pointers so that they are always valid or NULL (I wonder if the priorities used by GtkTreeView have changed in newer versions of GTK?). * view_file_list.c: Fix progress bar warning when files are removed before thumbnail generation is finished.

<H1>1. Introduction</H1>
<P>GQview is an image viewer, that makes navigation of images easy.
Images can be viewed full screen, and a slide show function allows
automatic changing of the displayed image.</P>
<P>GQview is an image manager, with complete copy, move, rename, and
delete functions available at the press of a button. Find the right
image with the search feature. Image collectors can free up space
with a function that finds duplicate images.</P>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P>The one thing GQview is not, and never be, is an image editor.
However, GQview paired with an image editor, such as the Gimp, can be
a very powerful combination.</P>

<P>&ldquo;An application that displays images.&rdquo; - This was, and
still is, the primary goal of GQview. Over time image management
features have been added, but the core purpose of GQview remains the
same.</P>
