qiv - a fast gdk/imlib image viewer for X. Version: 2.0, released on 22.05.2004 by Adam Kopacz / KLOGRAFX.DE Network http://www.klografx.net/qiv/ - adam.k@klografx.de

qiv [options] file ...

qiv is an image viewer developed with gdk/imlib. As a result, qiv is faster than traditional image viewers such as xv or xli.

-h, --help

Print out a brief help message.

--display disp Open qiv window on display disp.

-F, --file file Read file names from file, one name per line. This option can be specified multiple times to read from several files, and will not affect other file names passed on the command-line.

-e, --center

Disable window centering.

-w, --fixed_width x Window with fixed width x.

-W, --fixed_zoom x. Window with fixed zoom factor (percentage x).

-x, --root file Set file as the current desktop background (centered) and exit.

-y, --root_t file Set file as the current desktop background (tiled) and exit.

-z, --root_s file Set file as the current desktop background (stretched) and exit.

-m, --maxpect

Expand image(s) to fit screen size while preserving aspect ratio.

-t, --scale_down

Shrink image(s) which are larger than screen size to fit.

-b, --brightness x Set brightness to x (-32..32).

-c, --contrast x Set contrast to x (-32..32).

-g, --gamma x Set gamma to x (-32..32).

-n, --no_filter

Disable filtering of images by extension.

-i, --no_statusbar

Disable statusbar.

-I, --statusbar

Enable statusbar.

-p, --transparency

Enable transparency for transparent images.

-a, --do_grab

Grab the pointer in windowed mode.

-G, --disable_grab

Disable grabbing the pointer/kbd in fullscreen mode. Useful e.g. if qiv displays images on a display other than where it was envoked from. Use with caution!

-v, --version

Print version information.

-o, --bg_color x Set root background color to named color x or 24 bit hex RGB triple in the format #RRGGBB.

-s, --slide

Start slideshow immediately.

-r, --random

Randomize slideshow.

-R, --readonly

Disable the deletion feature.

-S, --shuffle

Shuffle images (random order with next/previous functionality).

-d, --delay x Set slideshow delay to x seconds.

-f, --fullscreen

Use fullscreen window on start-up.

-P, --ignore_path_sort

Sort all the image files by just their filename, ignoring the path.

-M, --merged_case_sort

Sort all the image files in merged-case order (AaBbCc...).

-N, --numeric_sort

A "smart" numeric sort that attempts to sort filenames with numbers in a logical manner. For instance: 2.jpg sorts before 10.jpg; 1foo.jpg through 10foo.jpg sorts after 1bar.jpg through 15bar.jpg (because "foo" comes after "bar"); and baz0001.jpg through baz0010.jpg sorts after baz01.jpg through baz99.jpg (because the longer group of zero-padded digits indicates that they shouldn't be intermingled).

-T, --watch

Reload the image if it has changed on disk.

qiv doesn't actually delete files. It creates a directory named ".qiv-trash" and moves the images to that directory. qiv maintains the directory structure of your "deleted" images. You can also undelete the most recently trashed images in reverse order, which moves each file back into its original directory. There is a limit to how many deletions can be undone, but it should be pretty large (currently 1024 items). Sometimes this feature might be unwanted. To prevent accidents you can specify the "-R" option to disable this feature.

With XFree86 3.3.2+ server, using the wheel is seen as button 4 and 5 pressed. You only have to use "IMPS/2" or "Intellimouse" for protocol and add "ZAxisMapping 4 5 " in the "Pointer" section of XF86Config. If imwheel (a program used to emulate key pressed when wheel is used for program not supporting wheel), the following two lines must be add to imwheel config file :

"qiv"

@Exclude

Keys 0-9 will invoke qiv-command with the key pressed as the first argument and the current image filename as the second argument. qiv-command is not distributed with qiv; it is to be supplied by the user. Thus, this feature could be enabled by placing a simple shell script such as the following in the command search path (for example, in the user's ~/bin directory):

#!/bin/sh # Argument sanity checking eliminated for brevity case $1 in 0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9) mkdir -f dir$1; mv "$fname" dir$1 ;; *) echo "unrecognized command"; exit ;; esac

To use qiv with xscreensaver, either type "make install-xscreensaver" or add the following to your ~/.Xresources:

xscreensaver.programs: \ /usr/bin/qiv -srfid 5 your_pix/\* \n\ /usr/bin/qiv -srfid 5 your_other_pix/\* \n\

Sending a SIGUSR1 to qiv will cause the program to flip to next picture. SIGUSR2 will move to previous.
