GQview is an image viewer, that makes navigation of images easy. Images can be
viewed full screen, and a slide show function allows automatic changing of the
displayed image.
GQview is an image manager, with complete copy, move, rename, and delete func-
tions available at the press of a button. Find the right image with the search
feature. Image collectors can free up space with a function that finds duplicate
images.

Version 2.1.5 is declared beta by the author of the program. The program is
working very stable under AmiCygnix and has some nice additional features.
