This is Geeqie, a successor of GQview.

Geeqie has been forked from GQview project, because it was not possible to
contact GQview author and the only maintainer. Geeqie projects goal is to move
the development forward and also integrate the existing patches.

Geeqie is currently considered stable. Please report any crash or odd behavior
to the [mailing list](https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geeqie-devel)
and/or to [Github](https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/issues)

## Requirements

  Required libraries:
    GTK+ 3.00
               www.gtk.org
               enabled by default
               disable with configure option: --disable-gtk3
    or
    GTK+ 2.20
               disabled by default when GTK+3 libraries are found.
               enable with configure option: --disable-gtk3
	       optional items map display and GPU acceleration are not available
	       with GTK2

	       Note: GTK+3 is still somehow experimental. It is needed for some
	       features but we have several complains about the GTK+3 usability.

	       So if you need a stable version, you are advised to compile it
	       with GTK+2. If you want to play with the cool new features, use
	       GTK+3.

  Optional libraries:
    lcms2 2.0
    or
    lcms 1.14
               www.littlecms.com
               for color management support
               enabled by default
               disable with configure option: --disable-lcms

    exiv2 0.11
               www.exiv2.org
               for enhanced exif support
               enabled by default
               disable with configure option: --disable-exiv2

    lirc
               www.lirc.org
               for remote control support
               enabled by default
               disable with configure option: --disable-lirc

    libchamplain-gtk 0.12
    libchamplain 0.12
    libclutter 1.0
               wiki.gnome.org/Projects/libchamplain
               for map display
               disabled by default
               enable with configure option: --enable-map
               enabling will also enable GPU acceleration

    libclutter 1.0
               www.clutter-project.org
               for GPU acceleration (a check-box on Preferences/Image must also be ticked)
               disabled by default
               enable with configure option: --enable-gpu-accel
               explicitly disabling will also disable the map feature

    lua 5.1
               www.lua.org
               support for lua scripting
               enabled by default

## Editor command macros                               [section:editors]

Editors are configured via standard desktop files.

## Overlay Info                                        [section:overlay]

Overlay info format string syntax is: %tag[:max_length][:extra]%

  %name%          Filename of the picture.
  %collection%    Name of the collection
  %number%        Current number of image in the list
  %total%         Total number of images
  %date%          File date
  %size%          File size
  %width%         Image width
  %height%        Image height
  %res%           Image resolution
  %keywords%      Image keywords from metadata
  %comment%       Image comment from metadata
  %lua/file.lua/% Lua functionality

  To access exif data use the exif name:
  %Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal%	Date of the original shot

  Pre-formatted exif data is also available:
  formatted.Camera              Camera and sofware name
  formatted.DateTime            Image Date
  formatted.ShutterSpeed        Shutter speed in seconds (ie. 1/60s)
  formatted.Aperture            Aperture (ie. f5.6)
  formatted.ExposureBias        Exposure bias (ie. +0.3)
  formatted.ISOSpeedRating      ISO sensitivity (ie. 100)
  formatted.FocalLength         Focal length
  formatted.FocalLength35mmFilm Focal length 35mm
  formatted.SubjectDistance     Subject distance
  formatted.Flash               Flash
  formatted.Resolution          Resolution
  formatted.ColorProfile        Color profile
  formatted.GPSPosition		GPS position
  formatted.GPSAltitude		GPS altitude

  You can limit the length of displayed data using :number notation:
  %formatted.Camera:20% will truncate the displayed data to 20 characters and
  will add 3 dots at the end to denote the truncation.

  If two or more variables are connected with the |-sign, it prints available
  variables with a separator:
  %formatted.ShutterSpeed%|%formatted.ISOSpeedRating%|%formatted.FocalLength%
  could show:
    "1/20s - 400 - 80 mm"
  or
    "1/200 - 80 mm" if there's no ISO information in the Exif data.

  If a line is empty, it is removed. This allows one to add lines that totally
  disappear when no data is available.

  Extra string uses special character '*' to mark the position of the data. 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 *%"      -> ie. "ISO 100"
  "%collection: Collection <b>*</b>\n%" -> display collection name in bold prefixed by
                             "Collection " and a newline is appended
