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 specified 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 verify 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

EXAMPLES
       Open two	SVG files for viewing:

	   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:

	   inkview --fullscreen	--timer=5 [files/folders ...]
