======== Requirements

  GTK+ 2.2.x: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk (GTK 2.2.4 or newer recommended)
  libpng: (most systems now include this by default)

======== Notes and changes for this release            [section:release_notes]

  Changes (for 1.4.5):

    * Remove window decorations from full screen window, this fixes
      the decorations that are presented on older window managers.
    * Fix broken keyboard focus in main window when the tools are floating.
    * Connect R key to refresh the image when in full screen.


  Significant changes since last stable release (1.2.2):

    + Exif support.                     (Ctrl+E)
    + Sort manager.                     (Ctrl+S)
    + Ported to GTK 2.
    + Icon view now includes filenames. (optional - see context menu)
    + Safe delete option.               (preferences, advanced tab)
    + Drag and drop now works with button 1,
      and with applications such and Nautilus and Konqueror.
    + Find duplicates results are better ranked and grouped.
    + Prebuffer option now retains previous image, in addition to next image.
    + Editor commands are now more flexible.
    + Added option to auto rotate image based on exif data.
    + Automatic list and image refresh now optional.

  Notes:

    For translation status list, see below.

    Version in perenthesis indicates first appearance of feature or change.

    (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}/

======== Editor command macros                               [section:editors]

 Any one of the following filename markers may be used:

    %f  Replaced with list of selected files, may occur once.
    %p  Command is run once for each selected file, may occur multiple times.
   none When neither %f or %p exist, list of files is appended to command.

 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.
