INKVIEW(1)		     Inkview Commands Manual		      INKVIEW(1)

NAME
     Inkview - an SVG viewer and slideshow program.

SYNOPSIS
     "inkview [options] [filename ...]"

     options:

	 -h, --help
	 -V, --version

	 -f, --fullscreen
	 -r, --recursive
	 -t, --timer=NUMBER
	 -s, --scale=NUMBER
	 -p, --preload

DESCRIPTION
     Inkview is an Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) viewer that can also be used
     for slideshows or presentations. One or more FILES or FOLDERS can be speci-
     fied on the command-line for opening. Inkview will display all SVG files in
     the given order. Folders will be expanded to a list of contained SVG files.

     You can also launch Inkview without any command-line arguments, which will
     bring up a file chooser that allows to select files and folders via a
     graphical user interface.

OPTIONS
     -?, --help
	     Show help options

     -V, --version
	     Print Inkview version and build date (this is usually matches the
	     Inkscape version).

     -f, --fullscreen
	     Launch Inkview in fullscreen mode.

     -r, --recursive
	     Search folders specified on the command line recursively for SVG
	     files.  This means all SVG files in all subfolders of the specified
	     folder will be opened.

     -t, --timer=NUMBER
	     Change to the next image every NUMBER seconds

     -s, --scale=NUMBER
	     Show image scaled by a factor of NUMBER instead of using the file's
	     native size.

     -p, --preload
	     Preloads all SVG files. Inkview still needs to render images upon
	     showing, however this option ensures all SVG files are already
	     parsed and loaded into memory. This option can also be used to ver-
	     ify if all files can be opened properly, without having to cycle
	     through all files manually.

KEYBINDINGS
     *	     Left, Page Up, or Backspace: show previous image

     *	     Right, Page Down, or Space: show next image

     *	     Up, or Home: go to first image

     *	     Down, or End: go to last image

     *	     Return: show control window

     *	     F11: toggle fullscreen mode

     *	     Escape or Q: quit

	 inkview file1.svg file2.svg

     Open all SVG files in the examples folder shipped with Inkscape:

	 inkview B</usr/local/share>/inkscape/examples

     Launch a fullscreen slideshow that automatically changes to the next image
     every 5 seconds:
