1. Image viewing
1.1 How do I keep images smaller than the visible area from enlarging when the zoom is set to “fit to window” ?
In the preferences dialog, under the “Image” tab, disable “Allow enlargement of image for zoom to fit”.
9. Command line
9.1 How do I open an image in an existing Geeqie application ?
Use the “-r” command line option to send commands to an existing Geeqie, for a list of commands supported by the remote switch run:
geeqie --remote-help
9.2 How do I set the slide show delay when starting Geeqie in slide show from the command line ?
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:
geeqie -r -d12 -ss
Note that if geeqie is running prior to this command, the slide show should also be stopped prior to changing the delay:
geeqie -r -sS -d12 -ss
10. Miscellaneous
10.1 I want to be able to edit images with Geeqie
Geeqie is an image viewer. There is, and never will be, a plan to add editing features. I recommend gimp for image editing.
