tkgifviewer - image viewer for animated GIFs
tkgifviewer is an animated GIF viewer using the Tk library to open and manipulate images. The default mode is an image slideshow, showing one image at a time from those specified on the commandline. Keys and mouse control may be used to move through them. Other modes can be specified on the commandline, and are described below.
For user convenience tkgifviewer can open and display other image formats like PPM/PGM. If the tkImg package is installed, tkgifviewer additionally supports the image formats XBM, XPM, BMP, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, DTED, and RAW.
Filelists can be sorted in a number of ways. The default is the order the files were specified on the commandline, or the order they were read from the disk. You can specify sorting mode randomize.
Thumbnail mode forms an index print from the filelist. Image thumbnails are shown.
Fullscreen mode shows image in fullscreen view.
List mode doesn't display images. Outputs an 'ls'-style listing of the files in the filelist, including image info such as size, type, etc.
tkgifviewer can read options from the commandline.
-h, --help display help output and exit
-v, --version output version information and exit
-q, --quiet Don't report non-fatal errors for failed loads.
-r, --randomize When viewing multiple files, randomize the file list before displaying.
-f, --filelist FILE This option is similar to the playlists used by music software. If FILE exists, it will be read for a list of files to load, in the order they appear. The format is a list of image filenames, absolute or relative to the current directory, one filename per line.
-F, --full-screen Make the window fullscreen.
-s, --show ATTRIBUTE Show specified attribute with tooltips. Allowed attributes are name, and filename.
-l, --list Don't display images. Analyse them and display an 'ls'-style listing. Useful in scripts hunt out images of a certain size/type etc.
-S, --sort TYPE The file list will be sorted according to TYPE. Allowed types are name, filename, and random.
-A, --action ACTION Specify a string as an action to perform on the image. In slideshow the action will be run when the enter key is pressed. The action will be executed by /bin/sh. Use format specifiers to refer to image info. See FORMAT SPECIFIERS for examples.
Eg. tkgifviewer -A "mv %f ~/images/%n" *
In slideshow mode, the next image will be shown after running the action.
-t, --thumbsize WIDTHxHEIGHT Enable thumbnail mode. Thumbnail mode creates an index print of thumbails. Each thumbnail has a maximal width and height given by the argument.
-d, --defer-animation Defer animation until all images are created. If this option is set the animation of all animated images will start synchronous.
-c, --disable-cache Disables caching of images in origial size. This option is available only in thumbnail mode. If you want to save memory you should use this option, but opening the image in origial size will be slower then. BOOLEAN is 0, 1, on, off, yes, or no.
-b, --background COLOR Specifies the background color of the viewer. The color will be given either in hexadecimal format (e.g. #RRGGBB) or as X11 color name.
-k, --highlightbackground COLOR Specifies the color to display in the highlight region.
-g, --use-gif-background If this option is set the original background color given in the GIF image will be used for the specific image.
-B, --borderwidth WIDTH Use this border width for each image frame. This option is available only in thumbnail mode. Per default the border width is 0.
%f image path/filename
%n image name
%w image width
%h image height
%u prints the current file number
%t prints the total number of files in the filelist
\n newline
Eg. tkgifviewer -A "mv %f ~/images/%n" *
