0062 &gwenview; is a fast and easy to use image and video viewer.
0063 </para>
0064 
0065  <para>
0066 &gwenview; features two main modes: Browse and View. Both modes can be used
0067 in a normal application window and Full Screen. Browse Mode
0068 lets you navigate through your computer showing thumbnails of your images, View
0069 Mode lets you view images one at a time, and Full Screen lets you make quick
0070 slideshows.  There is also a start screen that displays a list of recently opened
0071 folders and &URL;s as well as your places and tags.
0072 </para>
0073 
0074 <para>Image loading is handled by the &Qt; library, so &gwenview; supports all
0075 image formats your &Qt; installation supports. &gwenview; correctly displays images
0076 with an alpha channel (transparency) as well as animations.</para>
0077 
0078 <para>&gwenview; supports the displaying and editing of EXIF comments in JPEG
0079 images. Lossless JPEG transforms such as rotations and mirroring are also supported.</para>
0080 
0081 <para>&gwenview; can read embedded color profiles from PNG and JPEG files.
0082 It can use the image color profile together with the display color profile
0083 to output correct colors on the screen.</para>

0228 fold it. To change the size of the thumbnails move the splitter with the &LMB;.</para>

0258 of the window, the <guibutton>Fill</guibutton> button zooms the image to fill the window 
0259 by fitting width or height and the <guibutton>100%</guibutton> button zooms the image to

0262 <para>When an image is in zoom-to-fit mode, you can go to the previous and next
0263 image with the arrow keys. When you zoom in, arrow keys are used to scroll the image.
0264 This is very similar to the behavior provided by phones or digital cameras.</para>

0266 <para>When an image is zoomed in, a bird's eye view appears and lets you scroll

0457 <para>The &gwenview; Importer allows you to import images from a digital camera or
0458 removable media.  To launch it, select <guilabel>Download Photos with &gwenview;</guilabel>
0459 in the &kde; Device Notifier after connecting a supported device.</para>
0460 
0461 <para>When you plug in a device the &gwenview; importer recursively lists all images and videos.
0462 </para>
0463 <para>This is not always what you expect, &eg; plugging a smartphone you do not want to list all medias
0464 of the device; but only the pictures you took, which are usually in a special subfolder.

0475 <para>It is possible to select the root folder to list, and &gwenview; Importer will remember the
0476 last root folder for each device. This way, next time you plug a device in, only the relevant
0477 pictures and videos should be listed.

0502 <title>Automatic Renaming</title>
0503 <para>&gwenview; Importer can rename your files according to a specified pattern.
0504 To configure this, select the <guibutton>Settings</guibutton> in the lower left
0505 corner.  You may turn this feature on or off using the check box at the top.  The
0506 <guilabel>Rename Format</guilabel> supports several special parameters, which will
0507 be replaced by metadata such as the date the image was created or its filename.
0508 They are listed below the text box.  You may either click on the parameter name to
0509 enter it into the text box or type one manually.</para>
