This is Geeqie, a successor of GQview.

Geeqie has been forked from GQview project, because it was not 
possible to contact gqview author and the only maintainer. 
Geeqie projects goal is to move the development forward and 
also integrate the existing patches.

Geeqie is currently in beta state. All planed features for 1.0 are implemented,
but there are bugs. Please report any crash or odd behavior to the bugtracker:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=222125&atid=1054680

    exiv2, for enhanced exif support: http://www.exiv2.org/
        (disable with configure option: '--without-exiv2')
        - due to fast development, newer versions work significantly better
        FIXME: minimal version ?
    lirc, for remote control support: http://www.lirc.org/
    	(disable with configure option: '--disable-lirc')

======== Editor command macros                               [section:editors]

Editors are configured via standard desktop files, see
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/geeqie/wiki/GuideEditorsConfig


======== Overlay Info                                        [section:overlay]

Overlay info format string syntax is: %tag[:max_length][:extra]%

  %name%       Filename of the picture.
  %collection% Name of the collection
  %number%     Current number of image in the list
  %total%      Total number of images
  %date%       File date
  %size%       File size
  %width%      Image width
  %height%     Image height
  %res%        Image resolution
  %keywords%   Image keywords from metadata
  %comment%    Image comment from metadata

  To access exif data use the exif name:
  %Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal%	Date of the original shot

  Pre-formatted exif data is also available:
  formatted.Camera              Camera and sofware name
  formatted.DateTime            Image Date
  formatted.ShutterSpeed        Shutter speed in seconds (ie. 1/60s)
  formatted.Aperture            Aperture (ie. f5.6)
  formatted.ExposureBias        Exposure bias (ie. +0.3)
  formatted.ISOSpeedRating      ISO sensitivity (ie. 100)
  formatted.FocalLength         Focal length
  formatted.FocalLength35mmFilm Focal length 35mm
  formatted.SubjectDistance     Subject distance
  formatted.Flash               Flash
  formatted.Resolution          Resolution
  formatted.ColorProfile        Color profile
  formatted.GPSPosition		GPS position
  formatted.GPSAltitude		GPS altitude

  You can limit the length of displayed data using :number notation:
  %formatted.Camera:20% will truncate the displayed data to 20 characters
  and will add 3 dots at the end to denote the truncation.

  If two or more variables are connected with the |-sign, it prints available
  variables with a separator:
  %formatted.ShutterSpeed%|%formatted.ISOSpeedRating%|%formatted.FocalLength%
  could show:
    "1/20s - 400 - 80 mm"
  or
    "1/200 - 80 mm" if there's no ISO information in the Exif data.

  If a line is empty, it is removed.
  This allows to add lines that totally disappear when no data is available.

  Extra string uses special character '*' to mark the position of the data.
  If no '*' is present, then extra string is just appended to data.
  Any "\n" is replaced by a newline on display.
  Pango mark up is accepted in left and right parts.
  If data is empty, nothing will be displayed.

  Examples:
  "%name:<i>*</i>\n%" -> name is displayed in italics ended with a newline
  "%size:\n%"         -> size is displayed with a newline at end
  "%formatted.ISOSpeedRating:ISO *%"      -> ie. "ISO 100"
  "Collection <b>*</b>\n" -> display collection name in bold prefixed by
                             "Collection " and a newline is appended
