[Geeqie-devel] Favorite keywords, really?

2014-06-01 Thread Ian Zimmerman
Hi, the documentation says I can add new keywords of my own with the help of a "button bar" that's supposed to be next to the keywords part of the sidebar. But, I can see no such button bar in my geeqie. Directly below the keywords list there is the exif information. I just built 1.1 from source

A question: How much do you care about copying _multiple_ selections this way? The semantics of multiple or range selections is murky at best, and that is true even independently of Geeqie and Gtk. You can try this in your favorite terminal emulator or in Emacs: select multiple words by dragging
