  On Load

    This option determines if the window and/or the image will be resized after loading a new picture into KView. With Resize Window enabled, the KView window will be resized so that it snuggly fits around the loaded image. Notice that this can reduce the main window almost to a vertical arrangement of menu entries if you load a small button pixmap (you can resize the window afterwards in the usual way, of course). If your image is pretty large (in terms of pixels), sometimes the KView window is resized in such a way that the caption bar completely moves off your screen. Similarly, Resize Image resizes the image to fit into the KView workspace (keeping its aspect ratio intact). And with No Resize as your choice, both KView and your image keep their size.

  Slideshow

    Here you can change the parameters for the slideshow: the interval between the different slides, and if the show should continuously loop.
