Hello,

A new development version of Gwenview is out: 1.2.91. Here is the list of 
changes:

- New features:
 - The file view now features three modes: details, thumbnail with info on the
   right and thumbnail with info on bottom. In the "info on the right"
   mode, the file name, date, image size and file size are displayed.
   In the "info on bottom" mode, the user can choose what information should
   be displayed.
 - The thumbnail size can now be set with a slider.
 - Thumbnail can now be as big as 256x256.
 - Non-blocking image preloading in advance.
 - With two-pass painting, turn off dithering in the first pass for a small
   performance improvement with non-truecolor displays.
 - Hints for mouse usage in the image view are shown in the status bar.
 - In addition to the file count, the status bar now shows the current image
   position.
 - Two variables have been introduced for the On Screen Display: %n is the
   current image position, %N is the image count.
 - An option has been added to disable automatic rotation of images.

- Fixes:
 - Progressive JPEG files are really shown progressively.
 - In the thumbnail view, make sure we report image sizes for JPEG with
   embedded thumbnails.
 - The JPEG loader has been fixed so that it doesn't crash on some broken
   JPEGs.
 - Fix premature end when decoding MNG images.
 - Gwenview now dynamically links with installed version of libexif by
   default.
   The included libexif copy is only used if libexif is not installed. Using
   it is considered deprecated.
 - The "best" smoothing algorithm has been tweaked to produce slightly less
   blurry results.
 - External tools are now sorted by name in the menu and the dialog.
