2. Project Summary
2.1. Project Description:
GQview is an image viewer for Unix operating systems. Its key features
include single click file viewing, external editor support, thumbnail
preview, and zoom features. Some image management features are also
included.
4. Technical Description:
4.1. Details:
Features of gqview include:
.Thumbnail list display.
.Thumbnails can be cached to disk for faster subsequent loads.
.One click file selection.
.Zoom in, out, and fit to window.
.Slideshow.
.Mode that zoom reverts to on a new image can be configured.
.File filtering options.
.Can open a file in an external program (customizable).
.Collections (file lists).
.Search utility.
.Find duplicates based on file attributes or image content.
.Full screen viewing.
.EXIF support.
.Printing, including proof sheets.
.Can attach keywords and comments to images.
.Supports the Thumbnail managing standard.
.Command line control of existing GQview process.
GQview doesn't come with any decoder, and doesn't use any interface
from image libraries (PNG,JPEG etc.). Gdk-pixbuf automatically invoke
one of a handful of its image format loaders to convert the graphics
file into an RGB buffer, and then GQview reads data from Gdk-pixbuf.
This means GQView supports image format that supported by Gdk-pixbuf
availabe on the system.
