sxiv: Simple (or small or suckless) X Image Viewer
|
|
|
|
sxiv is a really simple alternative to feh and qiv. Its only dependency is
|
|
imlib2. The primary goal for writing sxiv is to create an image viewer, which
|
|
only implements the most basic features required for fast image viewing. It
|
|
works nicely with tiling window managers and its code base should be kept small
|
|
and clean to make it easy for you to dig into it and customize it for your
|
|
needs.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
sxiv is built using the commands:
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
Please note, that the latter one requires root privileges.
|
|
By default, sxiv is installed using the prefix "/usr/local", so the full path
|
|
of the executable will be "/usr/local/bin/sxiv".
|
|
|
|
You can install it into a directory of your choice by changing the second
|
|
command to:
|
|
|
|
# PREFIX="/your/dir" make install
|
|
|
|
All build-time specific settings can be found in the file "config.h". Please
|
|
check and change them, so that they fit your needs.
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
sxiv has two modes of operation: image and thumbnail mode. The default is image
|
|
mode, in which only the current image is shown. In thumbnail mode a grid of
|
|
small previews is displayed, making it easy to choose an image to open.
|
|
|
|
sxiv supports the following command-line options:
|
|
|
|
-d Scale all images to 100%, but fit large images into window
|
|
-F Use size-hints to make the window fixed/floating
|
|
-f Start in fullscreen mode
|
|
-g GEOMETRY Set window position and size
|
|
(see section GEOMETRY SPECIFICATIONS of X(7))
|
|
-p Pixelize, i.e. turn off image anti-aliasing
|
|
-q Be quiet, disable warnings
|
|
-r Search given directories recursively for images
|
|
-s Scale all images to fit into window
|
|
-t Start in thumbnail mode
|
|
-v Print version information and exit
|
|
-Z Same as `-z 100'
|
|
-z ZOOM Scale all images to current zoom level, use ZOOM at startup
|
|
|
|
Use the following keys to control the basic behaviour of sxiv:
|
|
|
|
q Quit sxiv
|
|
Escape Quit sxiv and return an exit value of 2 (useful for scripting)
|
|
f Toggle fullscreen mode (requires an EWMH/NetWM compliant
|
|
window manager)
|
|
|
