  </section>

  <section xml:id="eom-features"><info><title>Image Viewer Features</title></info>
    
    <para><application>Image Viewer</application> has a variety of features to help you view your images.
    You can zoom in and out or view the image full screen. Regardless of
    your zoom level, <application>Image Viewer</application> uses a low amount of memory. You can also
    rotate and flip the image you are viewing.</para>

    <para>The collection view allows the viewing and editing of large
    image collections. In this view image operations can be applied
    to all selected images at once. </para>

    <para><application>Image Viewer</application> has special support for digital camera pictures and
    displays EXIF metadata recorded with the image. This feature
    requires <systemitem class="library">libexif</systemitem> to be
    installed on your system. All modifications made in JPEG images 
    are lossless. That is, saving rotated and flipped JPEG images 
    will not recompress the image. Beside this all available metadata 
    (like EXIF) will be preserved and updated accordingly. </para>

Select <guilabel>Other...</guilabel> from the drop-down list to open a standard open folder dialog for browsing the filesystem. The resulting filename for each image is specified by <guilabel>Filename format</guilabel>. The filename schema is constructed by simple
		characters and special tags. The following special tags are available: </para>
		<itemizedlist>

		<para>The image format is determined by the drop-down box after the schema definition. Select a specific image format or use the 
		<guilabel>as is</guilabel> option to state that the same format as the original file should be used.</para>
	
		<para>The <guilabel>Options</guilabel> section allows to remove all space characters by underscores in the resulting filename if <guilabel>Replace spaces with underscores</guilabel> is checked. The <guilabel>Start counter at</guilabel> spin box determines at which number the counter starts if you use the %n tag for the file format specification.</para>
		<para>The <guilabel>File Name Preview</guilabel> section of the dialog shows the resulting file name according to the above settings for an example filename from the selected images.
