DESCRIPTION

23       Inkview is an Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) viewer that can also be
24       used for slideshows or presentations. One or more FILES or FOLDERS can
25       be specified on the command-line for opening. Inkview will display all
26       SVG files in the given order. Folders will be expanded to a list of
27       contained SVG files.
28
29       You can also launch Inkview without any command-line arguments, which
30       will bring up a file chooser that allows to select files and folders
31       via a graphical user interface.
32

OPTIONS

34       -?, --help
35               Show help options
36
37       -V, --version
38               Print Inkview version and build date (this is usually matches
39               the Inkscape version).
40
41       -f, --fullscreen
42               Launch Inkview in fullscreen mode.
43
44       -r, --recursive
45               Search folders specified on the command line recursively for
46               SVG files.  This means all SVG files in all subfolders of the
47               specified folder will be opened.
48
49       -t, --timer=NUMBER
50               Change to the next image every NUMBER seconds
51
52       -s, --scale=NUMBER
53               Show image scaled by a factor of NUMBER instead of using the
54               file's native size.
55
56       -p, --preload
57               Preloads all SVG files. Inkview still needs to render images
58               upon showing, however this option ensures all SVG files are
59               already parsed and loaded into memory. This option can also be
60               used to verify if all files can be opened properly, without
61               having to cycle through all files manually.
