Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
### Opening images
|
|
imv image1.png another_image.jpeg yet_another.TIFF
|
|
|
|
### Opening images via stdin
|
|
find . "*.png" | imv
|
|
|
|
### Open an image fullscreen
|
|
imv -f image.jpeg
|
|
|
|
### Viewing images in a random order
|
|
find . "*.png" | shuf | imv
|
|
|
|
### Viewing images from stdin
|
|
curl http://somesi.te/img.png | imv -
|
|
|
|
### Image picker
|
|
imv can be used to select images in a pipeline by using the `p` hotkey to print
|
|
the current image's path to stdout. The `-l` flag can also be used to tell imv
|
|
to list the remaining paths on exit for a "open set of images, close unwanted
|
|
ones with `x`, then quit imv to pass the remaining images through" workflow.
|
|
|
|
#### Picking a wallpaper
|
|
custom-set-wallpaper-script "$(find ./wallpaper -type f -name '*.jpg' | imv | tail -n1)"
|
|
|
|
#### Deleting unwanted images
|
|
find -type f -name '*.jpg' | imv | xargs rm -v
|
|
|
|
#### Choosing pictures to email
|
|
find ./holiday_pics -type f -name '*.jpg' | imv | xargs cp -t ~/outbox
|
|
|
|
#### Viewing images from the web
|
|
curl -Osw '%{filename_effective}\n' 'http://www.example.com/[1-10].jpg' | imv
|
|
|
|
### Slideshow
|
|
|
|
imv can be used to display slideshows. You can set the number of seconds to
|
|
show each image for with the `-t` option at start up, or you can configure it
|
|
at runtime using the `t` and `T` hotkeys to increase and decrease the image
|
|
display time, respectively.
|
|
|
|
To cycle through a folder of pictures, showing each one for 10 seconds:
|
|
|
|
imv -t 10 ~/Pictures/London
|
|
|
|
The `-x` switch can be used to exit imv after the last picture instead of
|
|
cycling through the list.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
`imv` depends on `pthreads`, `FontConfig`, `SDL2`, `SDL_TTF`, `FreeImage`,
|
|
and `asciidoc`.
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
Macro `PREFIX` controls installation prefix. If more control over installation
|
|
paths is required, macros `BINPREFIX`, `MANPREFIX` and `DATAPREFIX` are
|
|
available. Eg. to install `imv` to home directory, run:
|
|
|
|
$ BINPREFIX=~/bin PREFIX=~/.local make install
|
|
|
|
In case something goes wrong during installation process you may use verbose
|
|
mode to inspect commands issued by make:
|
|
|
|
$ V=1 make
|
|
|
|
Tests
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
`imv` has a work-in-progress test suite. The test suite requires `cmocka`.
|
|
|
|
$ make check
