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 GTK+ 2.4.x: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk ======== Notes and changes for this release [section:release_notes] Changes: + Add Pan View window (name pending) for displaying images as a timeline, calendar, folder tree, folder flower (name pending) and basic grid. Keyboard shortcut for Pan View is Control + J (may change in future). + Panning an image with the mouse while holding down the shift key will increase speed. + Add 'Fast jpeg thumbnailing' option, on by default. - Demote xvpics support to a hidden option. - Update French translation. Notes: For translation status list, see further below. Version in perenthesis indicates first appearance of feature or change. (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. %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 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 1.5.8) Please send po files/patches in gzipped form to ensure data integrity.
