Command line</FONT></FONT></P>
<P><B>9.1 How do I open an image in an existing Geeqie application ?</B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">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 STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in">geeqie --remote-help</PRE><P>
<BR><BR>
</P>
<P><B>9.2 How do I set the slide show delay when starting Geeqie in
slide show from the command line ?</B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">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 STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in">geeqie -r -d12 -ss</PRE><P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">
<BR><BR>
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">Note that if geeqie is running prior
to this command, the slide show should also be stopped prior to
changing the delay:</P>
<PRE STYLE="margin-left: 1.58in">geeqie -r -sS -d12 -ss</PRE><P>

<P><B>10.1 I want to be able to edit images with Geeqie</B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">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>
