SUMMARY The "Animations" option on this page has radio buttons for three settings "OpenGL", "Software" and "None". However, it is not clear what these options do or what they should be set to for the best results. I am guessing that "None" disables animations completely, and the other two options enable them. But it is not clear what animations are affected - do they mean animated GIFs? It is necessary to read the handbook to discover that this setting affects fading between images. A better approach may be to have the on/off setting (as a check box) on the "Image View" page, with a hint text: [X] Fade between images when switching If this is checked, switching between images in "View" mode will fade between them. If this is off, then the images will change immediately. and the actual internal implementation as a second check box on the "Advanced" page: [X] Use OpenGL for transition effects Hardware acceleration will be used for fading between images, this should normally be set this to on unless there are problems. If set to off software animation will be used, which may help if OpenGL does not work properly.
