Over the last months, Gwenview's contributors worked on a plethora of improvements. Highlights include:

+
    +
  • Support for MPRIS controllers has been added so you can now control full screen slideshows via KDE Connect, your keyboard's media keys, and the Media Player plasmoid.
    • +
  • The thumbnail hover buttons can now be turned off.
    • +
  • The Crop tool received several enhancements, as its settings are now remembered when switching to another image, the shape of the selection box can now be locked by holding down the "Shift" or "Ctrl" keys and it can also be locked to the aspect ratio of the currently displayed image.
    • +
  • In full screen mode, you can now exit by using the "Escape" key and the color palette will reflect your active color theme. If you quit Gwenview in this mode, this setting will be remembered and the new session will start in full screen as well.
    • +
+

Attention to detail is important, so Gwenview has been polished in the following areas:

+
    +
  • Gwenview will display more human-readable file paths in the "Recent Folders" list, show the proper context menu for items in the "Recent Files" list, and correctly forget everything when using the "Disable History" feature.
    • +
  • Clicking on a folder in the sidebar allows toggling between Browse and View modes and remembers the last used mode when switching between folders, thus allowing faster navigation in huge image collections.
    • +
  • Keyboard navigation has been further streamlined by properly indicating keyboard focus in Browse mode.
    • +
  • The "Fit Width" feature has been replaced with a more generalized "Fill" function.
    • +
+

Even smaller enhancements often can can make user's workflows more enjoyable:

+
    +
  • To improve consistency, SVG images are now enlarged like all other images when "Image View → Enlarge Smaller Images" is turned on.
    • +
  • After editing an image or undoing changes, image view and thumbnail won't get out of sync anymore.
    • +
  • When renaming images, the filename extension will be unselected by default and the "Move/Copy/Link" dialog now defaults to showing the current folder.
    • +
  • Lots of visual papercuts were fixed, e.g. in the URL bar, for the full screen toolbar, and for the thumbnail tooltip animations. Missing icons were added as well.
    • +
  • Last but not least, the full screen hover button will directly view the image instead of showing the folder's content, and the advanced settings now allow for more control over the ICC color rendering intent.
    • +
+ + + + +

The final 17.12 bug fix release improves upon many smaller issues:

+
    +
  • Enlarge small SVGs too.
    • +
  • Fix URL navigator margins.
    • +
  • Fix background color for image view toolbar (crop/red-eye).
    • +
  • Hide fullscreen thumbnailbar when on-canvas image tools are in use.
    • +
  • Fix thumbnail bar in View resetting to OFF when quitting in fullscreen.
    • +
  • Update filename in fullscreen view on rename.
    • +
  • Add icons for context and sidebar menu.
    • +
  • Improve thumbnail tooltip animation.
    • +
  • Save config when opening the config dialog.
    • +
+ + + + +

The second 17.12 bug fix release ships with these enhancements:

+
    +
  • Resize top bar in fullscreen view mode on toggling sidebar.
    • +
  • Disable auto saving window size in fullscreen mode.
    • +
+ + + + +

    • +
  • Fix places side panel for Baloo URLs.
    • +
  • Fix expanding of Baloo URLs in folders sidebar tree view.
    • +
  • Respect custom filename for Copy/Move/Link To operations.
    • +
