33
<P STYLE="font-style: normal; text-decoration: none">This section
34
describes the options presented under the Advanced Tab of the
35
preferences dialog.</P>
38
<P><U>Full Screen</U></P>
39
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Location</B>: Selects the location
40
and position of the full screen window. 'Determined by window
41
manager' will leave the window placement up to the window manager.
42
'Active screen' places the window on the same screen as the GQview
43
main window. 'Active monitor' does the same, but limits the full
44
screen window size to the monitor containing the main window. The
45
remaining choices are dependent on the multiple monitor
47
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Stay above other windows:</B>
48
Enable this to have GQview ask the window manager to keep the full
49
screen window above other windows. Note that the window manager may
50
ignore the request. This option is not relevant when the full screen
51
location is determined by the window manager.</P>
52
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Smooth image flip</B>: This option
53
delays the image change in full screen until the next image is
54
entirely decoded into memory, the result is a smoother transition
56
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Disable screen saver</B>: This
57
option will execute <I>xscreensaver-command --deactivate</I> once per
58
minute to avoid the screen saver from activating when GQview is
59
displayed full screen.</P>
62
<P STYLE="font-style: normal; font-weight: medium"><U>Delete</U></P>
63
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-style: normal"><B>Confirm file
64
delete</B>: Prompts for confirmation before deleting files.</P>
65
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-style: normal"><B>Enable Delete
66
key</B>: Disable this to disassociate the delete file function from
67
the Delete key. This option does not effect the [Control] + D key
68
sequence. May be useful in combination with “confirm file
69
delete”, above, disabled so that accidentally hitting a single
70
key will not result in deleted files.</P>
71
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-style: normal"><B>Safe Delete</B>:
72
Moves deleted files to a temporary folder, for easy retrieval of
73
deleted files. Files in the temporary folder are retained until the
74
maximum size is reached, at which point deleting additional files
75
will result in the removal of the oldest files to reclaim the space
76
needed for the new files.</P>
77
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in; font-style: normal"><I>Note:</I> Files
78
moved to the Safe Delete folder are prefixed with a six digit number
80
<P STYLE="margin-left: 2.36in"><I>nnnnnn_FILENAME</I></P>
81
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in; font-style: normal">This is used by
82
the delete feature to distinguish which files to remove first when
83
clearing space for new files. The digit counter increments with each
85
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-style: normal"><B>Folder</B>: The
86
location of the folder used by the Safe Delete feature.</P>
87
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Maximum size</B>: The size to use
88
for the Safe Delete folder, in megabytes.</P>
89
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Clear</B> button: Removes all files
90
contained in the Safe Delete folder.</P>
91
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>View</B> button: Changes the GQview
92
main window to display the contents of the Safe Delete folder.</P>
95
<P><U>Behavior</U></P>
96
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-weight: medium"><B>Rectangular
97
selection in icon view:</B> Enable this to change the selection
98
method used when selecting multiple items in an icon view.</P>
99
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Descend folders in tree view</B>:
100
This will allow GQview to read sub folder content to determine if it
101
should display expander indicators in the folder tree view.</P>
102
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in"><I>Note:</I> Disable this if GQview
103
wakes up auto mounted network shares, or takes too long to initially
104
display the folder view.</P>
105
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>In place renaming</B>: When
106
renaming a single file, this will allow the rename entry to appear
107
directly over the original filename.</P>
110
<P><U>Navigation</U></P>
111
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Progressive keyboard scrolling</B>:
112
This will cause image panning speed to gradually accelerate when
113
holding down the keyboard arrows.</P>
114
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Mouse wheel scrolls image</B>: The
115
default is for the mouse wheel to change the image, and to scroll the
116
image when shift is used in combination with the wheel. Enabling this
117
swaps the behavior so that operating the wheel will scroll the image,
118
and holding down shift will change the image.</P>
121
<P><U>Miscellaneous</U></P>
122
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-weight: medium"><B>Store keywords
123
and comments local to source images:</B> When enabled, GQview
124
attempts to store metadata such as keywords closer to the source
125
image. The resulting location is the source image's folder, in a sub
126
folder with the name "<B>.metadata"</B>. When the image
127
source folder cannot be written, GQview falls back to saving the
128
medata in "$HOME/.gqview/metadata".</P>
129
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Custom similarity threshold</B>:
130
This setting is used by the compare method “similarity
131
(custom)”, located in the Find Duplicates window.</P>
132
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>Offscreen cache size</B>: GQview
133
only renders the visible portion of an image. To reduce rendering the
134
same area frequently when panning an image, some memory is used to
135
retain the recently rendered image data. This value controls the
136
maximum amount of memory to use.</P>
137
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in"><I>Note:</I> This setting controls the
138
amount of memory<SPAN STYLE="text-decoration: none"> for <U>each</U>
