Guide to documentation
----------------------

The COPYING file contains a copy of the GPL described above.

The NEWS file describes the changes made in each version, so if you're
upgrading from an old xzgv, be sure to read the relevant parts of
that.

ChangeLog is similar to NEWS, but more hacker-orientated. :-)

See INSTALL for details of how to install.


Description
-----------

xzgv is a picture viewer for X, with a thumbnail-based file selector.
It uses GTK+. Most file formats are supported, and the thumbnails
used are compatible with xv, zgv, and the Gimp. It can also be used
with `xzgv file(s)', to effectively bypass the file selector.
For more on how xzgv works and how to use it, do `info xzgv' or `man
xzgv' once it's installed.

xzgv differs from other picture viewers for X in that it uses one
window for both the file selector and viewer, it (unlike xv) allows
both scrolling and fit-to-window methods of viewing large pictures,
and it (unlike xv and some others) doesn't ever mangle the picture's
aspect ratio without you telling it to.

It also provides extensive keyboard support; if you prefer using the
keyboard, this is probably the best viewer for you. But it doesn't
skimp on the mousey stuff, either.

So anyway, it's just terribly great. :-)
