Overview

Vimiv is an image viewer with vim-like keybindings. It is written in python3 using the Gtk3 toolkit. Some of the features are:

`•`	Thumbnail mode
`•`	Simple library browser
`•`	Basic image editing
`•`	Command line with tab completion

The complete documentation is not included in this manpage but is available at:

⟨http://karlch.github.io/vimiv/documentation/⟩

Options

-b, --bar: display the statusbar

-f, --fullscreen: start in fullscreen

-h, --help: display a simple help text

-l, --library: display the library

-r, --recursive: search the directory recursively for images

-s, --shuffle: shuffle the filelist

-v, --version: show version information and exit

--start-from-desktop: start using the desktop_start_dir as path

--slideshow: start in slideshow mode

--slideshow-delay SLIDESHOW_DELAY: set the slideshow delay

-g, --geometry GEOMETRY: set the starting geometry

--temp-basedir: use a temporary basedir

--config FILE: use FILE as local configuration file instead of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vimiv/vimivrc and ~/.vimiv/vimivrc.

--debug: run in debug mode

All capitals negate the setting, so e.g. -B means do not display the statusbar. For the long version prepend no-, e.g. --no-bar.
