Fix display of collection in overlay info. Due to markup escaped <i>collection</i> was displayed instead of collection's in italic. Overlay info syntax was extended to allow the wrapping of displayed data with markup. General syntax is: %name[:length limit][:extra]% Extra string uses special character '*' to mark the place of the data to display. If no '*' is present, then extra string is just appended to data. Any "\n" is replaced by a newline on display. Pango mark up is accepted in left and right parts. If data is empty, nothing will be displayed. Examples: "%name:<i>*</i>\n%" -> name is displayed in italics ended with a newline "%size:\n%" -> size is displayed with a newline at end "%formatted.ISOSpeedRating:ISO *%" -> prefix iso number with "ISO " (ie. "ISO 100") "Collection <b>*</b>\n" -> display collection name in bold prefixed by "Collection " and a newline is appended Collection name formatting was slighly improved by not displaying the .gqv extension. The default overlay info string was modified to use the new syntax, but older info strings should be displayed as usual.

<H1>3.1 Image Window</H1>
<P>An image window is a window that displays only the image.</P>
<P>An image window can always be opened from the context menu of all
images and files. Keyboard shortcuts exist for most windows that
display images or files, however the shortcut can vary dependent on
the type of window containing them.</P>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P>The image pane contained in an image window behaves and operates
similar to the image pane of a <A HREF="2_6_image_pane.html">Main
Window</A>. The keyboard shortcuts are the same, and the context menu
is the same except &ldquo;Hide file list&rdquo; is replaced by &ldquo;Close
window&rdquo;. The <A HREF="8_1_slideshow.html">slide show</A> and
<A HREF="8_2_fillscreen.html">full screen</A> functions are also
available.</P>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P><U>Navigation</U></P>
<P>When the image window contains a list of images or is linked to a
collection, the displayed image can be changed forward or backward in
the list with the respective PageDown and PageUp keys. In addition,
all navigation methods for the mouse and keyboard are similar to that
of the image pane of a <A HREF="2_6_image_pane.html">Main Window</A>.</P>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P><U>Changing the image</U></P>
<P>To change the contents of an image window, drop the items onto the
window with drag and drop. The dropped item can be one or more files,
folders, or an image from a collection window:</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">One or more <B>files</B>: The image
window will display the first image; the list of dropped images can
be navigated similar to a main window's image pane.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">One or more <B>folders</B>: When the
dropped list of items includes a folder, a menu will appear allowing
to skip the folders, add their contents, or add their contents
recursively. After choosing from the menu the requested files will be
added to the image window.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">Image from a <B>collection</B>: The
image window will change to display the image and become linked to
the collection containing the image. Images in the collection can
then be navigated and viewed from the image window.</P>
<P>Changing the image window by dropping a new item onto it will
cause the previous list of images or linked collection to be
discarded.</P>
<P>To update the image display in the event that the source file has
changed, press the R key.</P>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P><U>Information Overlay</U></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">A small overlay can be turned on and
off by pressing the I key. This overlay displays the image file name,
dimensions, file date, and file size. The count of the current image
and of all images contained by the window are also displayed in
parenthesis. When the window is linked to a collection, the
collection title will also appear in the overlay in italics above the
file name.</P>
