-

+Editors are configured via standard desktop files, see
+http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/
 
-    %v  Display result of command in output window, must occur as first two
-        characters in the command, or immediately after the "%w" macro.
-    %V  Like v above, but when used with %p, only displays output window for
-        multiple files. The output of a single file is suppressed.

- Additional macros:
+FIXME: Geeqie extensions
 
-    %w  Prevent full screen from deactivating when command is executed,
