I think it would be nice if more apps would follow the Freedesktop Specifications :

* config folders should be in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/geeqie ( or in ~/.config/geeqie/ )

http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html

* a trashed file should go to ~/.local/share/Trash/files/ with a information file in ~/.local/share/Trash/info/
for more info :
http://www.ramendik.ru/docs/trashspec.html

Do you plan to follow these spec ?

Currently starting one of the splitted modes (vertical/horizontal/quad) fill new image windows with the current one.
It would be nice to open the selected images (the current in first pane, the next one selected in the next pane, up to four).
If only one image is selected, behavior will be unchanged.
But when ie. two images are selected when starting horizontal splitted mode, both will be displayed (one in each pane).

OSD icons feature is almost useless since it is fairly broken.
How should we use them ?

Reported by: zas_

When flipping between two images, the images stop being cached. (If neither image is the first or last in the file list.)

This is especially weird since if you are flipping through images, then go back, that one you went back to IS cached, but if you then go forward again, that one is not cached, and if you go back again, that one is not cached anymore either.

With Exiv2, embedded icc profiles are broken. They are not extracted at all from jpeg files. With tiff they seem to be extracted but not correctly.

when you want to copy a file, you choose first
time the destination directory. After, for another copy the window open
by default on the previous directory.

This does not work anymore, it always open on same location, and I do not know where it comes from.

With the ctrl-# keys being reassigned, there is now no shortcuts for running external editors (either that or it is undocumented). How about using shift-#?

There should be a keyboard shortcut to expand grouped files (instead of clicking the arrow). The currently behavior is:

Right cursor: scroll file list to the right
Space: jump to next group
Enter: nothing?

Assigning enter to expand the groups seems like the best option.

Fantastic software! I've tried many different photo organizers and have always gone back to gqview for it's simplicity. I've always wished for raw/jpg grouping and metadata editting.

README contains some typos, attached patch fixes them.

Reported by: nijel

Special characters in file name are shown escaped in the information overlay. For example, the file "Stasia's Mother.jpg" is shown as "Stasia'Mother.jpg"

The bug is in the file src/image-overlay.c, where the function g_markup_escape_text is called twice : once in osd_template_insert line 440 when called whith the flag OSDT_NONE (which is the case for the filename in image_osd_info_render line 956), and once in image_osd_mkinfo line 307.

An immediate patch for the bug is :

Hello,

it would be nice to have a semi automatic workflow for similar images (d).

If similarity = 100% then
move the bigger (size) image to...
end If

If similarity = 100% then
move image with "STRING" in the name to...
end If

If similarity = 100% then
move the bigger (size and resolution) image to...
end If

If similarity <= 95% then
move the bigger image to...
end If

Do you understand? That will be !!!GREAT!!!

And an export of the similarlist to a textfile.

Hello,

if I make a "slideshow recursive" on a folder and change the image forward or backward with the mouseweel, geeqie freezes and make 100% CPU load for a little time. After that is changing with the mouseweel possible without problems. Changing with the "page up/down" keys on keyboard is no problem.

If I made this inside the folder (not recursive), no problem with mouseweel.

There are 35.000 softlinks of images in that folder. No warnings or errors on the console.

I am not able to succesfully disable the "Confirm file delete" option in the "Preferences/Advanced" dialog. I have the following option set:

[ ] Confirm file delete
[X] Enable Delete key
[ ] Safe delete

but I still get the "Delete files?" dialog after pressing 'Del' or selection 'Delete...' from the popup menu.

Great job guys! The freely configurable buffering is something I've been waiting for ages, the other new features seem to be taken straight out of my wishlist as well. Keep up the good work!

I have been using gqview for awhile now and I am glad to see that a new project is being worked on to continue development of this great tool. What I was wondering is if there are any plans on porting Geeqie to win32 platform?
If not are there any reason why?
I have never ported an app but I do develop programs in windows, and I would be interesting in helping with this.

Thumbnails of images with exif orientation tag are not rotated.

Reported by: zas

To reproduce:

1. just select few files in a subdirectory of your home (/home/zas/A) ,
2. then Move, a dialog appears to choose the destination path, i choose the one which is preselected (/home/zas)
3. just press OK (no change to the path)
4. move fails (mv /home/zas/A/x.jpg /home/zas/A/x.jpg)
   Obviously the destination path is wrong.

If you choose another directory (changing the entry), it works.

file_util_dialog_init_dest_folder() connects "changed" signal to the entry, but in this case, this doesn't work,
the entry is unchanged.

The path should also be used if Move button is pressed.

Even worse:
Repeat step 1
2) enter a non-existing path (/home/zas/non_existing_name)
3) press OK
4) move succeed (sort of) -> the last file is written to /home/zas/non_existing_name but others are lost (!!)

Uwe Ohse proposed some improvements in these domains.

For example, he provided a patch that adds some keys to navigate in the Properties window.

Original description:
This patches enhances the file info dialog.

• The escape closes the dialog.
• CTRL-Left or -Right go to the next image in the list.
• Shift-Left or -Right select the next tab.

After some testing, this is imho a nice usability enhancement.
But the current patch uses hardcoded keys, so this feature is postponed to the introduction of configurable keys.

Overlay display, especially with histogram, makes zooming and scrolling slow.
It seems this issue is there since a long time, but with histogram feature things are worse.
A comment in pixbuf-renderer.h:
/* OVL_HIDE_ON_SCROLL = 1 << 1*/ /* hide temporarily when scrolling (not yet implemented) */
let me think John Ellis was about to fix it.

Reported by: zas_

If you choose slide show recursive in a folder with multiple subfolders and image files, with 'icons' under view, and scroll manually, paused or otherwise, everything works fine, if a little slow, because geeqie tries to sync and load the icons. However, to speed up image viewing, I used 'list view' for the files, without thumbnails, and although it's a lot faster, geeqie will go into one subfolder, and stay there. That is, it no longer seems to be in slideshow mode, only seems to have ended up in the folder of the current image, and scrolls there.

Manual page seems to contain a hyphen where a minus sign was intended. '-' chars are interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by groff, not as minus signs
(U+002D). Since options to programs use minus signs (U+002D), this means for example in UTF-8 locales that you cannot cut&amp;paste options, nor search for them easily.

'-' must be escaped ('-') to be interpreted as minus. If you really intend a hyphen, write it as '(hy' to emphasise that fact. See groff(7) and especially groff_char(7) for details, and also the thread starting with http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200303/msg01481.html

Exiv2 can decode lot of EXIF fields. However anything from Advanced view is shown not decoded.

For example Exif.Pentax.LensType is shown as "7 243", but I guess that most people would like to see "smc PENTAX-DA 70mm F2.4 Limited" :-).

Reported by: nijel

Using exif panel, add some exif data from advanced view, then move to another image that doesn't contain these exif keys (their names should be displayed after the separator but without any value).
You can't remove them from display since they do not appear in the advanced view.
It would be nice to have a button along each custom entry in the "normal" view to delete them from anywhere.

Zoom factor and images positions are not preserved, dividers positions are lost too.

Reported by: nadvornik

When stepping through images (e.g. by using PageDown or PageUp), image
positions are not preserved, making it tedious to determine, e.g. which of a

appropriate option is set.

GQview handles this correctly.

I believe this is a different issue from:
