| 2361 | |||
| 2362 | Tumme is a facility for browsing image files. It provides viewing | ||
| 2363 | of the original file, either as a thumbnail or in full size, inside | ||
| 2364 | Emacs or in an external viewer. | ||
| 2365 | |||
| 2366 | To enter Tumme, type @kbd{M-x tumme}. It prompts for a directory; | ||
| 2367 | specify one that has images files. This creates thumbnails for all | ||
| 2368 | the images in that directory, and displays them all in the ``thumbnail | ||
| 2369 | buffer''. This takes a long time if the directory contains many image | ||
| 2370 | files, and it won't operate if the number of image files exceeds | ||
| 2371 | @code{tumme-show-all-from-dir-max-files}. | ||

| 2373 | @kindex C-t d @r{(Tumme)} | ||
| 2374 | @findex tumme-display-thumbs | ||
| 2375 | You can also enter Tumme through Dired. Mark the image files you | ||
| 2376 | want to look at, using @kbd{m} as usual, then type @kbd{C-t d} | ||
| 2377 | (@code{tumme-display-thumbs}). This too creates and switches to | ||
| 2378 | a buffer containing thumbnails, corresponding to the marked files. | ||
| 2379 | |||
| 2380 | With point in the thumbnail buffer, type @kbd{RET} | ||
| 2381 | (@code{tumme-display-thumbnail-original-image}) to display a sized | ||
| 2382 | version of it in another window. This sizes the image to fit the | ||
| 2383 | window. Use the arrow keys to move around in the buffer. For easy | ||
| 2384 | browing, type @kbd{SPC} (@code{tumme-display-next-thumbnail-original}) | ||
| 2385 | to advance and display the next image. Typing @kbd{DEL} | ||
| 2386 | (@code{tumme-display-previous-thumbnail-original}) backs up to the | ||
| 2387 | previous thumbnail and displays that instead. | ||
| 2388 | |||
| 2389 | @vindex tumme-external-viewer | ||
| 2390 | To view and the image in its original size, either provide a prefix | ||
| 2391 | argument (@kbd{C-u}) before pressing @kbd{RET}, or type @kbd{C-@key{RET}} | ||
| 2392 | (@code{tumme-thumbnail-display-external}) to display the image in an | ||
| 2393 | external viewer. You must first configure | ||
| 2394 | @code{tumme-external-viewer}. | ||
| 2395 | |||
| 2396 | You can delete images through Tumme also. Type @kbd{d} | ||
| 2397 | (@code{tumme-flag-thumb-original-file}) to flag the image file for | ||
| 2398 | deletion in the Dired buffer. You can also delete the thumbnail image | ||
| 2399 | from the thumbnail buffer with @kbd{C-d} (@code{tumme-delete-char}). | ||
| 2400 | |||
| 2401 | More advanced features include @dfn{image tags}, which are metadata | ||
| 2402 | used to categorize image files. The tags are stored in a plain text | ||
| 2403 | file. | ||
| 2404 | @c ??? What is the file name? | ||
| 2405 | |||
| 2406 | To tag image files, mark them in the dired buffer and type @kbd{C-t | ||
| 2407 | t} (@code{tumme-tag-files}). You will be prompted for a tag. To mark | ||
| 2408 | files having a certain tag, type @kbd{C-t f} | ||
| 2409 | (@code{tumme-mark-tagged-files}). After marking image files with a | ||
| 2410 | certain tag, you can use @kbd{C-t d} to view them. | ||
| 2411 | |||
| 2412 | @c ??? Remove what? The tag? | ||
| 2413 | You can also tag a file from the thumbnail buffer by typing @kbd{t | ||
| 2414 | t} and remove it by typing @kbd{t r}. There is also a special ``tag'' | ||
| 2415 | called ``comment'' for each file (it is not a tag in the exact same | ||
| 2416 | sense as the other tags, it is handled slightly different). That is | ||
| 2417 | used to enter a comment or description about the image. You comment a | ||
| 2418 | file from the thumbnail buffer by typing @kbd{c}. You will be | ||
| 2419 | prompted for a comment. Type @kbd{C-t c} to add a comment from Dired | ||
| 2420 | (@code{tumme-dired-comment-files}). | ||
| 2421 | |||
| 2422 | Tumme also provides simple image manipulation. In the thumbnail | ||
| 2423 | buffer, type @kbd{L} to rotate the original image 90 degrees anti | ||
| 2424 | clockwise, and @kbd{R} to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise. This | ||
| 2425 | rotation is lossless, and uses an external utility called JpegTRAN. | ||
