<H1>10.6 Advanced Options</H1>
<P STYLE="font-style: normal; text-decoration: none">This section
describes the options presented under the Advanced Tab of the
preferences dialog.</P>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P><U>Full Screen</U></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Location</B>: Selects the location
and position of the full screen window. 'Determined by window
manager' will leave the window placement up to the window manager.
'Active screen' places the window on the same screen as the GQview
main window. 'Active monitor' does the same, but limits the full
screen window size to the monitor containing the main window. The
remaining choices are dependent on the multiple monitor
configuration.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Stay above other windows:</B>
Enable this to have GQview ask the window manager to keep the full
screen window above other windows. Note that the window manager may
ignore the request. This option is not relevant when the full screen
location is determined by the window manager.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Smooth image flip</B>: This option
delays the image change in full screen until the next image is
entirely decoded into memory, the result is a smoother transition
between images.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Disable screen saver</B>: This
option will execute <I>xscreensaver-command --deactivate</I> once per
minute to avoid the screen saver from activating when GQview is
displayed full screen.</P>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P STYLE="font-style: normal; font-weight: medium"><U>Delete</U></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-style: normal"><B>Confirm file
delete</B>: Prompts for confirmation before deleting files.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-style: normal"><B>Enable Delete
key</B>: Disable this to disassociate the delete file function from
the Delete key. This option does not effect the [Control] + D key
sequence. May be useful in combination with &ldquo;confirm file
delete&rdquo;, above, disabled so that accidentally hitting a single
key will not result in deleted files.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-style: normal"><B>Safe Delete</B>:
Moves deleted files to a temporary folder, for easy retrieval of
deleted files. Files in the temporary folder are retained until the
maximum size is reached, at which point deleting additional files
will result in the removal of the oldest files to reclaim the space
needed for the new files.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in; font-style: normal"><I>Note:</I> Files
moved to the Safe Delete folder are prefixed with a six digit number
in the format:</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 2.36in"><I>nnnnnn_FILENAME</I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in; font-style: normal">This is used by
the delete feature to distinguish which files to remove first when
clearing space for new files. The digit counter increments with each
deleted file.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-style: normal"><B>Folder</B>: The
location of the folder used by the Safe Delete feature.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Maximum size</B>: The size to use
for the Safe Delete folder, in megabytes.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Clear</B> button: Removes all files
contained in the Safe Delete folder.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>View</B> button: Changes the GQview
main window to display the contents of the Safe Delete folder.</P>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P><U>Behavior</U></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-weight: medium"><B>Rectangular
selection in icon view:</B> Enable this to change the selection
method used when selecting multiple items in an icon view.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Descend folders in tree view</B>:
This will allow GQview to read sub folder content to determine if it
should display expander indicators in the folder tree view.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in"><I>Note:</I> Disable this if GQview
wakes up auto mounted network shares, or takes too long to initially
display the folder view.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>In place renaming</B>: When
renaming a single file, this will allow the rename entry to appear
directly over the original filename.</P>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P><U>Navigation</U></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Progressive keyboard scrolling</B>:
This will cause image panning speed to gradually accelerate when
holding down the keyboard arrows.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Mouse wheel scrolls image</B>: The
default is for the mouse wheel to change the image, and to scroll the
image when shift is used in combination with the wheel. Enabling this
swaps the behavior so that operating the wheel will scroll the image,
and holding down shift will change the image.</P>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P><U>Miscellaneous</U></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-weight: medium"><B>Store keywords
and comments local to source images:</B> When enabled, GQview
attempts to store metadata such as keywords closer to the source
image. The resulting location is the source image's folder, in a sub
folder with the name &quot;<B>.metadata&quot;</B>. When the image
source folder cannot be written, GQview falls back to saving the
medata in &quot;$HOME/.gqview/metadata&quot;.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Custom similarity threshold</B>:
This setting is used by the compare method &ldquo;similarity
(custom)&rdquo;, located in the Find Duplicates window.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Offscreen cache size</B>: GQview
only renders the visible portion of an image. To reduce rendering the
same area frequently when panning an image, some memory is used to
retain the recently rendered image data. This value controls the
maximum amount of memory to use.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in"><I>Note:</I> This setting controls the
amount of memory<SPAN STYLE="text-decoration: none"> for <U>each</U>
image window.</SPAN></P>
