Description:
 Gwenview is a fast and easy to use image
viewer/browser for KDE.

All common image formats are supported, such as
PNG (including transparency), JPEG (including EXIF
tags and lossless transformations), GIF (images as
well as animations), XCF (Gimp image format), BMP,
XPM and others.

Since 1.3.91, Gwenview can also view SVG images
and play videos.

Standard features include slideshow, fullscreen
view, image thumbnails, drag'n'drop, image zoom,
full network transparency using the KIO framework,
including basic file operations and browsing in
compressed archives, non-blocking GUI with
adjustable views.

Gwenview also provides image and directory KParts
components for use e.g. in Konqueror.

Additional features, such as image renaming,
comparing, converting, batch processing, HTML
gallery and others are provided by the KIPI image
framework.

Changelog:
 # New features:

- Show preview of images when dragging them.

- Added "back/forward/reload/save as" actions to
the KPart context menu (Bug 127560).

# Fixes:

- Load JPEG rotated images using the right
rotation directly instead of loading them first
and rotate them after (Bug 117173).

- Fix crash when showing current folder properties
from context menu (Bug 129890).

- Do not show the name of the current file in the
status bar: it's already shown in the title bar
and it was causing the mainwindow to be enlarged
if the name was very long (Bug 127004).

- Show the "rotate left" button in KParts.

- Use Exiv2 instead of libexif to fix troubles
with some JPEG (Bug 136112).

- Fix crash when using Gwenview KPart in
kwebdesktop (Bug 130379).

- Fix content of KPart context menu when viewing
remote images.

- Do not let the KPart title get overriden when
switching tabs.

- Make context menu behavior coherent with KDE
(Bug 136449).

- Fix compilation with --enable-final (Bug
134919).

- Do not loose selection when switching from
detail to thumbnail view (Bug 126218).

- In KPart, do not loose selection when starting a
drag.

- Fixed behavior of the middle-mouse button (Bug
134590).

- Unless the user rotated the image, saving from
the KPart now does a copy of   the image instead
of recompressing it. This ensures the KPart won't
fail to  save certain files (Bug 131833).
