bins-edit-gui - Set fields in XML picture description files for BINS (using a GNOME-based GUI)

bins-edit-gui [files ...]

This manual page documents briefly the bins-edit-gui command.

bins-edit-gui sets values in the XML picture description files that bins(1) uses to generate galleries. It displays the image (scaled down to fit the window) and allows you to fill in the predefined fields (or add new ones.) For command-line editing of the same data, see bins_edit(1).

This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below.
