Along these lines, When you chose "view image" from panview, that goes to a separate display codepath as well. At one point that alternate display was not color-managed. ISTR that I may have fixed that, but it should really be the same codepath as the standard window, with the ability to view EXIF info and change keywords and such.

I have a 1920x1200 screen and have had zero problems displaying 50-megapixel images full-screen. > - use standard Gtk file dialog I don't generally use any file dialogs in Geeqie, but I _love_ how the directory display textbox auto-completes and gives you an autocomplete drop-down when you hit <tab>. Please don't replace that with GTK's horrendous button thing. --xsdg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
