NAME

6       gliv - An OpenGL Image Viewer
7

SYNOPSIS

9       gliv [OPTIONS]... [FILES]...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       gliv  uses  gdk-pixbuf  to  load  images and OpenGL to render them.  It
13       allows to do some moving, rotating, zooming and slide show.
14

OPTIONS

16       The options are first set to their default  values,  "off"  for  flags,
17       then  read either from ~/.glivrc or /etc/glivrc or a configuration file
18       specified on the command line, and finally read from the command line.
19       Omitting the argument for an option that  takes  an  "on|off"  argument
20       (flags) is like giving it "on", so --foo is the same as --foo=on if foo
21       is an on|off flag.
22
23       -h, --help
24              Print help and exit.
25
26       -V, --version
27              Print version and exit.
28
29       -a, --add-all[=on|off]
30              Add all files in the directory. With this option, when you  open
31              a  file  on the command line or with the open dialog, all others
32              files in the directory are added as well.
33
34       -R, --recursive[=on|off]
35              Recursive directory traversal. If gliv tries to load a direcory,
36              it will also load every image all its subdirectories.
37
38       -S, --sort[=on|off]
39              Show  images  in  sorted  order.  The images list will be sorted
40              before the slide show.
41
42       -s, --shuffle[=on|off]
43              Show images in random order. The images list  will  be  shuffled
44              before the slide show.
45
46       -F, --force-load[=on|off]
47              Try  to load every file. When loading a file, the loader is cho‐
48              sen according to the filename extension in order to optimize the
49              loading  time. If the extension is unknown, the file is ignored,
50              with this option gliv will always try to load the file.
51
52       -C, --client[=on|off]
53              Connect to a running gliv, appending  to  the  list.  With  this
54              option,  gliv will open the files passed in the arguments in the
55              gliv server window. It can also be used with the -0 option.  The
56              gliv  server  is  the  latest launched gliv or the one which has
57              been chosen using the Options menu.
58
59       -c, --client-clear[=on|off]
60              Connect to a running gliv, replacing the list. This is like  the
61              --client  option  except  that  the specified list on the client
62              will replace the list on the server instead  of  being  appended
63              to.
64
65       -e, --build-menus[=on|off]
66              No  images  menu at startup. Disabling the images menus creation
67              at startup makes it faster, especially with many  files  on  the
68              command line.
69
70       -g, --glivrc[=FILE]
71              Use this configuration file or none. Specify it to disable load‐
72              ing of the rc file. With a filename as argument it will  use  it
73              as a configuration file.
74
75       -w, --slide-show[=on|off]
76              Start  the slide show immediately. This way you will not have to
77              start it manually from the menu.
78
79       -0, --null[=on|off]
80              Read null-terminated filenames. This  can  be  used  with  "find
81              -print0"  or  with "tr '\n' '\0'" when you have a very long list
82              of filenames to pass to  gliv.  Unlike  xargs(1)  it  allows  an
83              unlimited number of filenames.
84
85       -o, --collection[=FILE]
86              Output a collection. With this option, gliv creates a collection
87              from the loaded files and outputs it to stdout or in the  speci‐
88              fied file.
89
90       -G, --geometry=GEOMETRY
91              Initial  window geometry. This option can be used to specify the
92              position and dimension of the gliv window. It expects a geometry
93              argument  in the XParseGeometry(3X11) format like: 640x480+20-30
94              for example.
95

COLLECTIONS

97       Starting with version 1.8, gliv supports a  file  format  called  "GLiv
98       collection".  It contains an images list and the associated thumbnails,
99       this way, when you load a collection the  images  menus  rebuilding  is
100       faster since it does not have to make thumbnails.
101       gliv supports also transparent decompression, so the collections can be
102       compressed in bzip2, gzip or compress(1) provided that   you  have  the
103       corresponding decompressor.

135
136       The  first  mouse  button and the arrow keys will move the image unless
137       the Control key is pressed. In which case the  image  will  be  rotated
138       around the window center.
139
140       The  mouse  wheel zooms the image, and when you hold its button pressed
141       at the same time it switches to the neighbouring image.
142
143       You can also zoom by dragging the mouse vertically while holding  Shift
144       and the first button.
145
146       Space and Backspace act like n and p.
147
148       Draw a rectangle with the third button and gliv will zoom in it.
