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.

<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">Use the &ldquo;-r&rdquo; command line
option to send commands to an existing GQview, for a list of commands
supported by the remote switch run:</P>

<P><B>9.2 How do I set the slide show delay when starting GQview in
slide show from the command line ?</B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">The delay can not be set when used
with the standard -s command line switch, as -s uses the delay stored
in the configuration file. For this use the remote command -ss to
start the slide show after setting the delay with -d, the order of
the command line is important, for example a 12 second slide show
delay:</P>
<PRE STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in">gqview -r -d12 -ss</PRE><P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">
<BR><BR>
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">Note that if gqview is running prior
to this command, the slide show should also be stopped prior to
changing the delay:</P>
