Allow to switch to fullscreen mode using LIRC. Imagine the following situation (which happened to me several times) : you want to see photos from your bed or your sofa so you launch geeqie and go to the right directory, then you take your remote control and sit comfortably far from your keyboard and mouse. And when you want to begin to watch photos, you realize you forgot to enable full screen! You have to stand up and to go until your computer and come back, whereas you could have done it with your remote control. Patch by Bernard Massot.

      How do I open an image in an existing Geeqie application ?
    </title>
    <para>
      Use the “-r” command line option to send commands to an existing Geeqie, for a list of commands supported by the remote switch run:
    </para>
    <programlisting>
`geeqie --remote-help`
</programlisting>

      How do I set the slide show delay when starting Geeqie in slide show from the command line ?
    </title>
    <para>
      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:
    </para>
    <programlisting>
`geeqie -r -d12 -ss`
</programlisting>
    <para>
      Note that if geeqie is running prior to this command, the slide show should also be stopped prior to changing the delay:
    </para>
    <programlisting>
`geeqie -r -sS -d12 -ss`
</programlisting>

      I want to be able to edit images with Geeqie
    </title>
    <para>
      Geeqie is an image <emphasis role="i">viewer</emphasis>. There is, and never will be, a plan to add editing features. I recommend gimp for image editing.
