Gwenview is an image viewer for KDE. It features a folder tree window and a file list window to provide easy navigation of your file hierarchy. Gwenview uses docked windows, so you can alter its layout any way you wish. You can also browse your images in full\-screen mode, or embedded within Konqueror using the Gwenview Image Browser View and Kpart.

Image loading is handled by the Qt library, so Gwenview supports all image formats your Qt installation supports. Gwenview correctly displays images with an alpha channel.

Gwenview supports the displaying and editing of EXIF comments, if the necessary JPEG kfile\-plugin is installed. This comes as part of the kdegraphics package. Lossless JPEG transforms are also supported.

.SS Browse and View modes
142
By default, Gwenview opens in Browse mode, with the docked windows (showing
143
directory structure and contents) displayed. Starting Gwenview with a directory
144
as an argument also begins in Browse mode. Starting with an image as an argument,
145
however, opens Gwenview in View mode, with these docked windows hidden to give
146
full space to the image itself.
148
Once Gwenview is started, the user can toggle between Browse and View modes by
149
clicking the Browse button on the Main Toolbar. The same option can be found
150
in the View menu. Ctrl-Return will toggle these modes as well.
152
Whereas normally, in Browse mode, single-clicking on an image thumbnail or
153
listing is sufficient for Gwenview to display it, users also have the option of
154
double-clicking, which displays the image and switches Gwenview to View mode.
156
The Gwenview interface is composed of a number of smaller docked windows.
157
Manipulating these windows can be difficult at first. To focus a particular
158
window in the Gwenview interface, simply click within it.
160
Each docked window has a small grip bar along the top, with a dock/undock button
161
resembling an arrow at its right end, as well as a close button resembling the
164
Clicking the close button on a docked window will remove it from the interface.
165
To bring back a window, select it from the Window menu.
167
To resize docked windows, click on the border between the windows, and drag.
168
To re-arrange the docked windows, click on a window's grip bar along its top, and drag
169
the window over to the desired position relative to the other docked windows.
170
While dragging, a small box outline should appear that indicates the new position
171
that the window will take, when you release the mouse and end the drag. If you wish
172
to stack two windows, and use tabs to choose between them, drag the window to the
173
very center of the other window with which you wish to stack.
175
To undock a window, either click the dock/undock button in its top right corner, or
176
double-click on the window's grip bar. Double-clicking again, or clicking
177
on the dock/undock button, should return the window to its original position.
178
Otherwise, you can dock an undocked window by dragging its grip bar back to a
179
point within the general interface, just as if you were rearranging an already
182
The file view window cannot be undocked or moved, but by moving other windows
183
around, it can itself be shifted about.
185
While dragging a window, press the Escape key to cancel the operation. To reset
186
the docked windows to the default Gwenview layout, use the Reset option in the
189
Browsing a directory of images can be done several ways, including mouse
190
gestures. Hold down the left mouse button over an image, then click the right
191
button to go to the next image. Hold down the right button, then click the
192
left button to load the previous image.
194
Clicking the right mouse button on an image brings up a context menu.
196
Clicking the middle mouse button will toggle the auto zoom on/off.
198
Double-clicking on an image toggles Full Screen mode.
200
Holding down the left mouse button on an image allows you to
201
scroll the image. By default, you can also scroll up and down an image by
202
using the mouse wheel. However, this can be configured to browse the images
203
in the current directory instead.
205
The mouse wheel, used while holding down the Shift key, will zoom the image
208
The mouse wheel, used while holding down the Control or Alt keys, will scroll the image horizontally.
210
Gwenview comes with a range of keyboard shortcuts, all of which can be viewed and remapped by
211
selecting "Configure Shortcuts" in the Settings menu. Note that in the Files and Folders windows,
212
all the normal KDE shortcuts are functional, unless otherwise remapped.
214
A few of the most useful default bindings are:
216
Ctrl-Shift-F Toggles Full Screen mode.
217
Escape Stop, exit from Full Screen mode.
219
Home Displays the first image in the directory.
220
End Displays the last image in the directory.
222
Space Displays the next image in the directory.
223
Backspace Displays the previous image in the directory.
