What is gthumb
==============

complete description, screenshots and other info are available at

Overview of changes from gthumb 2.11.6 to 2.11.90
=================================================

New features and user visible changes:

* Slideshow: added ability to view the images in random order (#621244)
* Change date tool: allow to set the date without touching the time
  (#622245)
* Video player: display the video speed in the status bar and allow
  to change speed from 0.03 to 36.0 (#624454)
* Removed the "do not change folder" option from the preferences dialog
  as it was useless.
* Added ability to organize files by tag: the organize command can
  organize files by tag, creating a catalog for each tag found in the
  scanned images.
* The "fit window to image" is now a toggle action. (#617488)
* Added two orientation tools: added tool to physically rotate the
  images according to their embedded orientation; and a tool to reset
  the embedded orientation without rotating the images.
* Removed the preferences button from the import dialogs: instead of
  the overwrite option just use the overwrite dialog when a file is
  going to be overwritten; the rotate option is used only when
  importing from a device and is set in the general preferences dialog.
