GQview image viewer

Hi!

Three months ago I bought a digital camera (Canon Ixus
500) and I discovered gqview. I've tried many
different image browser for linux, but finally I
settled with gqview, which I think is fantastic in
terms of functionality and velocity (but definitely
not the prettiest, but who cares!). 

As usual, when one gets to use a program very often, I
have a feature request. My problem is that there are
only 10 fields possible in the External Editors. I
like this feature very much but I've run out of
fields. There are only 10 fields possible (I'm using
version 1.5.1, which I belive is the latest) and I
would like to add some more (I'm aware that there will
be a problem with the shortcut for these extra
fields). I typically use the external editors feature
to rotate (lossless) the images, call gimp, use jhead
and jpegtran do do diverse things, extract the ISO
information with exiftags (Canon stores the ISO in a
non-standard way) and other things. Consequently, I
would like to have more fields (maybe even be able to
decide how many I do need).
Bye,
	Ernesto.

Hi all GQView people listening out there,

is there any way to force GQViev (1.4.3, latest Sarge) to create (or
show) rotated thumbnails based on the JPEG's EXIF data? It is really
good that it rotates the picture itself, but it would be much better if
it could rotate the thumbnail as well.

Another solution: I don't know if PNG supports EXIF, but if it does, the
EXIF data could be copied into it, and the thumbnail viewer should use
this info - as well as the picture viewer does with the original JPEG.

Hi,

    Thank you for a great program; I use it all the time. There are 
three features that I also use all the time but I have to move the image 
to GIMP to do it but I think they're simple enough to do in GQView :

1. When the mouse pointer is moving across the image, put the X/Y image 
coordinates in the status bar realtime.
2. Add a zoom window feature which will allow the user to zoom to a 
region within an image based on a rectangle created from a couple of 
mouse clicks.

Really cool
3. Add a pixel measurement feature which would measure the distance, in 
X/Y and hypotenuse, between two pixels defined realtime from two clicks 
of the mouse.


Thanks again,
  Chris Haidinyak
