 =head1 NAME
 cv - a fast gtk+ image viewer loosely modeled after XV
 =head1 SYNOPSIS
 =over 4
 =item * optimized directory scanning algorithm
-The directory scanning in CV plays some tricks that - on most modern
+The directory scanning in CV uses some tricks that - on most modern
 filesystems - makes it possible to detect filetypes faster than stat()'ing
 every file. This makes CV suitable for directories with lots of files
 (10000+).
 This algorithm is quite unprecise - it doesn't make a difference between
 files, device nodes, symlinks and the like, and filetype detection is done
 using the file extension only.
+On the positive side, it is usually many orders of magnitude faster than
+traditional scanning techniques (good for directories with 10000 or
+100000+ files).
 =item * queuing for all time-consuming background tasks
 All tasks, such as unlinking files or generating thumbnails, that can be
 done in the background will be done so - no waiting required, even when
 =item * fast image loading
 The time span between the user issuing a command and displaying the new
 image should be as small as possible. CV uses optimized (especially
 for JPEG) loading functions and sacrifices some quality (e.g no gamma
-correction) to achieve this speed.

 =item * fast thumbnail creation
-Thumbnail creation is crucial for me, so it's better be fast. Thumbnail
+Thumbnail creation uses both CPU and Disk-I/O. CV interleaves both, so
+on modern CPUs, thumbnailing is usually limited by I/O speed. Thumbnail
-creation for JPEGs has been specially optimized.

 =item * minimum optical clutter
 CV has no menus or other user interface elements that take up a lot of

+screen space (or are useful for beginning users). The schnauzer windows
+can also be somewhat crowded.
 The point of an image viewer is viewing images, not a nice GUI. This is
 similar to XV's behaviour.
 =item * efficient (and hard to learn) user interface
 CV uses key combinations. A lot. If you are an experienced XV user, you
 will find most of these keys familiar. If not, CV might be hard to use at
 first, but will be an efficient tool later.
+=item * multi-window GUI
+CV doesn't force you to use a specific layout, instead it relies on your
+window manager, thus enabling you to chose whatever layout that suits you
+most.
 =item * i18n'ed filename handling throughout
 As long as glib can recognize your filename encoding (either UTF-8 or
-locale-specific, depending on your settings) and you have the relevant
+locale-specific, depending on the setting of G_BROKEN_FILENAMES) and you
-fonts, CV will display your filenames correctly.

 =item * extensible through plug-ins
 I have weird plug-ins that access remote databases to find a
 directory. This is not likely to be of any use to other people. Likewise,
  .            enlarge the image by 10%
  n            reset to normal size
  m            maximize to screensize
  M            maximize to screensize, respecting image aspect
  ctrl-m       toggle maxpect-always mode
+ ctrl-sift-m  toggle using current image size as max image size
  u            uncrop
  r            set scaling mode to 'nearest' (fastest)
  s            set scaling mode to 'bilinear' (default)
  shift-s      set scaling mode to 'hyper' (slowest)
  t            rotate clockwise 90°
  T            rotate counterclockwise°
  ctrl-v       open a new visual schnauzer window for the current dir
  ctrl-e       run an editor ($CV_EDITOR or "gimp") on the current image
- ctrl-p       fire up the print fialog
+ ctrl-p       fire up the print dialog
  escape       cancel a crop action
 And when playing movies, these additional keys are active:
  left         rewind by 10 seconds
  ctrl-g       force generation of thumbnais for the selected files
  ctrl-s       rescan current direcory or files updates/deletes etc.
  ctrl-u       update selected (or all) icons if neccessary
  ctrl-l       don't use, will become a plug-in eventually
+ ^            go to parent directory (caret).
  0-9,
  a-z          find the first filename beginning with this letter
 Right-clicking into the schnauzer window displays a pop-up menu with
 additional actions.
+=head3 SELECTION
+You can select entries in the Schnauzer in a variety of ways:
+=over 4
+=item Keyboard
+Moving the cursor with the keyboard will first deselect all files and then
+select the file you moved to.
+=item Clicking
+Clicking on an entry will select the one you clicked and deselect all
+others.
+=item Shift-Clicking
+Shift-clicking will toggle the selection on the entry under the mouse.
+=item Dragging
+Dragging will select all entries between the one selected when pushing the
+button and the one selected when releasing the button. If you move above
+or below the schnauzer area while drag-selecting, the schnauzer will move
+up/down one row twice per second. In addition, horizontal mouse movement
+acts as a kind of invisible horizontal scrollbar.
+=item Hint: double-click works while click-selecting
+You can double-click any image while click-selecting to display it
+without stopping the selection process. This will act as if you normally
+double-clicked the image to display it, and will toggle the selection
+twice, resulting in no change.

 =head1 FILES
 When starting, CV runs the F<.cvrc> file in your F<$HOME> directory as if
 it were a perl script. in that, you will mostly load plug-ins.
