Collection preview If the folder containing collection files (usually $HOME/.local/share/geeqie/collections) is opened, the image pane will show a montage of the thumbnails (to a maximum of 20) of the images in the selected collection. Requires ImageMagick. This is a simplistic implementation, and should be improved e.g. Use collect-io.c to parse the collection file Use cached thumbnails instead of re-creating Use Geeqie to create the montage instead of using ImageMagick

The detection of timezone is performed by
 [ZoneDetect](https://github.com/BertoldVdb/ZoneDetect)
 
 timezone16.bin has a longitude resolution of 0.0055 degrees (~0.5km).  
 timezone21.bin has a longitude resolution of 0.00017 degrees (~20m).
 
 The safe zone result indicates how close you are to the nearest border (flat earth model using lat and lon as x and y), so you can know when to do a new lookup. If you don't need it you can ignore it, in this case you can pass a NULL parameter to save the (very small) calculation effort.
 
 
 Note that the [underlying database](https://github.com/evansiroky/timezone-boundary-builder) will change from time-to-time.
