  <p><span class="gq-faq-5">1. Image viewing</span>
  </p>

  <p>1.1 How do I keep images smaller than the visible area from enlarging when the zoom is set to &ldquo;fit to window&rdquo; ?</p>

  <p>In the preferences dialog, under the &ldquo;Image&rdquo; tab, disable &ldquo;Allow enlargement of image for zoom to fit&rdquo;.</p>

  </p>

  <p><span class="gq-faq-5">9. Command line</span>
  </p>

  <p>9.1 How do I open an image in an existing Geeqie application ?</p>

  <p>Use the &ldquo;-r&rdquo; command line option to send commands to an existing Geeqie, for a list of commands supported by the remote switch run:</p>

  <pre class="gq-faq-9">
geeqie --remote-help
</pre>

  <p><br />
  <br />
  </p>

  <p>9.2 How do I set the slide show delay when starting Geeqie in slide show from the command line ?</p>

  <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>

  <pre class="gq-faq-9">
geeqie -r -d12 -ss
</pre>

  <p><br />
  <br />
  </p>

  <p>Note that if geeqie is running prior to this command, the slide show should also be stopped prior to changing the delay:</p>

  <pre class="gq-faq-9">
geeqie -r -sS -d12 -ss
</pre>

  <p><br />
  <br />

  <p><span class="gq-faq-5">10. Miscellaneous</span>
  </p>

  <p>10.1 I want to be able to edit images with Geeqie</p>

  <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>
