.TH GIMP-REMOTE 1 "March 23 2004" "Version @GIMP_VERSION@" "GIMP Manual Pages"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
gimp-remote - tells a running GIMP to open a (local or remote) image file.
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B gimp-remote
|
|
[\-h] [\-\-help] [-v] [\-\-version] [\-\-display \fIdisplay\fP]
|
|
[\-e] [\-\-existing] [-q] [\-\-query] \fIfilename\fP ...
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIgimp-remote\fP is a small utility that tells a running GIMP to open
|
|
one or more (local or remote) image files. It does so by searching
|
|
for a GIMP toolbox on the active display. If it can find a GIMP
|
|
toolbox, a synthetic drop event is created which makes GIMP think the
|
|
files would have been dropped onto the toolbox. More than one filename
|
|
or URL can be specified on the commandline.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
If no GIMP window is found, \fIgimp-remote\fP will start a new GIMP
|
|
instance and ask it to load the specified images. If no filename or
|
|
URL is given, \fIgimp-remote\fP will start a new GIMP. This behaviour
|
|
can be altered using the command-line options described below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
