<chapter id="using-kuickshow">
<title>Using &kuickshow;</title>

<para>Using &kuickshow; is very simple.  The file browser lists files,
which you can select with a double click, the <keycap>Return</keycap>
key, or <guimenuitem>View</guimenuitem> in the
<mousebutton>Right</mousebutton> click popup menu.</para>

<title>More &kuickshow; features</title>

<para>The options dialog makes available more possibilities:</para>

<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Images can be automatically shrunk to fit onto the
screen, if they are larger.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para>You can configure whether images should show up in
their own window, or always use the same window.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para>You can set the delay time for a slide show.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para>You can tell the browser which file types to show.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para>You can tweak the speed/quality
ratio</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>

<para>If you are looking for a certain file, just enter the first few
characters of it's filename in the browser.  A small edit window will
pop up in the bottom right corner.  When a matching file is found, it
is highlighted. You can leave the edit window by pressing
<keycap>Return</keycap> or &Esc;.</para>

<chapter id="configuration-dialog">
<title>The <guilabel>&kuickshow; Configuration</guilabel>
Dialog</title>

<para>The <guilabel>&kuickshow; Configuration</guilabel> dialog
contains 4 tabs.  Two of them, <link
linkend="general-options"><guilabel>General</guilabel></link>, <link
linkend="modifications-options"><guilabel>Modifications</guilabel></link>
configure the operation of &kuickshow;, and the other two,
<guilabel>Viewer Shortcuts</guilabel> and <guilabel>Browser

respective windows.</para>

delay when you select the next image, and is especially useful for
slide shows.</para>

List any special requirements for your application here. This should include:
.Libraries or other software that is not included in kdesupport,
kdelibs, or kdebase.
.Hardware requirements like amount of RAM, disk space, graphics card
capabilities, screen resolution, special expansion cards, etc.
.Operating systems the app will run on. If your app is designed only for a
specific OS, (you wrote a graphical LILO configurator for example) put this
information here.


<para>
In order to successfully use &kuickshow;, you need &kde; 1.1. Foobar.lib is
required in order to support the advanced &kuickshow; features. &kuickshow; uses
about 5 megs of memory to run, but this may vary depending on your
platform and configuration.
