Geh is a simple image viewer written in C/Gtk+

Geh is a simple command line image viewer written in C/Gtk+ with various nice features. It currently supports the following modes:

• Slide-show mode displaying multiple images in a row either controlled by an time interval and/or mousebutton clicks.
• Thumbnail mode creating small thumbnail images and caching them in ~/.thumbnails according to freedesktop.org's thumbnail specification.

This is a fork being developed as part of the Software Revive initiative.

What's new

See NEWS for details about changes between releases.

We don't maintain the ChangeLog file (in the GNU compatible format), since git log does just the same job.

Installation

If you build the program from the git source tree, run ./autogen.sh first to generate the configure script. If you build the program from a release tarball, the configure script is already present.

Geh can be built with gtk2 or gtk3.

To build the gtk2 version, run:

./configure --prefix=<your installation path> --enable-gtk2
make && make install

To build the gtk3 version, run:

./configure --prefix=<your installation path> --disable-gtk2
make && make install

Geh compiles to a single binary. No additional dependencies, just the standard gtk-related shared libraries (pixbuf, gtk2/3, pango, cairo etc).

Usage

See the output of geh --help for detals.
