# 10.6 Advanced Options

This section describes the options presented under the Advanced Tab of the options dialog.

Full Screen

Full screen size: Selects the location and position of the full screen window. Active screen places the window on the same screen as the GQview main window. Active monitor does the same, but limits the full screen window size to the monitor containing the main window. The remaining choices are dependent on the multiple monitor configuration.

Full screen ignores window manager: When enabled, GQview will manage it's own full screen window. More details about this option are provided in the Full Screen section.

Smooth image flip in full screen: This option delays the image change in full screen until the next image is entirely decoded into memory, the result is a smoother transition between images.

Disable screen saver in full screen: This option will execute xscreensaver-command --deactivate once per minute to avoid the screen saver from activating when GQview is displayed full screen.

Delete

Confirm file delete: Prompts for confirmation before deleting files.

Enable Delete key: Disable this to disassociate the delete file function from the the Delete key. This option does not effect the [Control] + D key sequence. May be useful in combination with “confirm file delete”, above, disabled so that accidentally hitting a single key will not result in deleted files.

Safe Delete: Moves deleted files to a temporary folder, for easy retrieval of deleted files. Files in the temporary folder are retained until the maximum size is reached, at which point deleting additional files will result in the removal of the oldest files to reclaim the space needed for the new files.

Note: Files moved to the Safe Delete folder are prefixed with a six digit number in the format:

nnnnnn_FILENAME

This is used by the delete feature to distinguish which files to remove first when clearing space for new files. The digit counter increments with each deleted file.

Folder: The location of the folder used by the Safe Delete feature.

Maximum size: The size to use for the Safe Delete folder, in megabytes.

Clear button: Removes all files contained in the Safe Delete folder.

View button: Changes the GQview main window to display the contents of the Safe Delete folder.

Miscellaneous

Auto rotate image using EXIF information: Auto rotates images based on data stored in images that include EXIF data.

Custom similarity threshold: This setting is used by the compare method “similarity (custom)”, located in the Find Duplicates window.

Rectangular selection: Enable this to change the selection method used when selecting multiple items in an icon view.

In place renaming: When renaming a single file, this will allow the rename entry to appear directly over the original filename.
