41Collection View
42---------------
43
44Since version 1.1.0 Eye of Gnome has rudimentary support for displaying image
45collections and viewing diashows. Up to now this is an experimental feature,
46which isn't well tested and has some known bugs/limitations. However, it is off
47by default and must be enabled explicitly on compliation time with the
48--enable-collection parameter.
49
50By default, there isn't any caching mechanism for created thumbnails yet. But
51you can install the optional helper library libpreview. With this library Eye
52of Gnome is able to read and write thumbnails according to the Thumbnail
53Management Standard. For more information see
54http://triq.net/~pearl/libpreview.php. It is likely that this library
55requirement will be dropped in future versions.
