42 <h1>Frequently Asked Questions</h1>
44 <h2 class="faq">Image viewing</h2>
46 <h3 class="faq">How do I keep images smaller than the visible area from enlarging when the zoom is set to “fit to window” ?</h3>
48 <p>In the preferences dialog, under the “Image” tab, disable “Allow enlargement of image for zoom to fit”.</p>
50 <h2 class="faq">Command line</h2>
52 <h3 class="faq">How do I open an image in an existing Geeqie application ?</h3>
54 <p>Use the “-r” command line option to send commands to an existing Geeqie, for a list of commands supported by the remote switch run:</p>
56 <pre><code>geeqie --remote-help</code></pre>
58 <h3 class="faq">How do I set the slide show delay when starting Geeqie in slide show from the command line ?</h3>
60 <p>The delay can not be set when used with the standard -s command line switch, as -s uses the delay stored in the configuration file. For this use the remote command -ss to start the slide show after setting the delay with -d, the order of the command line is important, for example a 12 second slide show delay:</p>
62 <pre><code>geeqie -r -d12 -ss</code></pre>
64 <p class="note"><span class="note_label">Note that if geeqie is running prior to this command, the slide show should also be stopped prior to changing the delay:</span></p>
66 <pre><code>geeqie -r -sS -d12 -ss</code></pre>
69 <h2 class="faq">Miscellaneous</h2>
71 <h3 class="faq">I want to be able to edit images with Geeqie</h3>
73 <p>Geeqie is an image <i>viewer</i>. There is, and never will be, a plan to add editing features. I recommend gimp for image editing.</p>
