Name
fiv - Image browser and viewer
Synopsis
fiv [OPTION]… [PATH | URI]…
Description
fiv is a general-purpose image browser and viewer: pass it a directory path or URI to open it for browsing, or pass an image to open it for viewing. In case that multiple arguments are passed, they’ll be opened as a virtual directory containing all of them.
For more information concerning usage, press F1 in the application to open the User Guide.
Options
- --browse
-
When an image is passed, start in browsing mode, and preselect that image in its containing directory. This is used by fiv's inode/directory handler to implement the "Open Containing Folder" feature of certain applications.
- --help-all
-
Show the full list of options, including those provided by GTK+.
- --invalidate-cache
-
Invalidate the wide thumbnail cache, removing thumbnails for files that can no longer be found.
- --list-supported-media-types
-
Output supported media types and exit. This is used by a script to update the list of MIME types within fiv's desktop file when the list of GdkPixbuf loaders changes.
- -V, --version
-
Output version information and exit.
Internal options
- --extract-thumbnail
-
Present any embedded thumbnail of the first argument on the standard output in an application-specific bitmap format. When both --thumbnail and --extract-thumbnail are passed, this option takes precedence, exiting early if successful. This is used to enhance responsivity of thumbnail procurement.
- --thumbnail=SIZE
-
Generate wide thumbnails for the first argument, in all sizes not exceeding SIZE, and present the largest of them on the standard output in an application-specific bitmap format. Available sizes follow directory names in the Thumbnail Managing Standard.
- --thumbnail-for-search=SIZE
-
Transform the first argument to a widely supported image file format, and present it on the standard output. The image will be downscaled as necessary so as to not exceed SIZE (see --thumbnail).
