Ah, yes - that fixed that issue. Now things start up OK. As far as I can see (by testing with the network cable unplugged) geeqie no longer seems to be scanning all the stuff from root - yay! However, I'm still a little confused as to the behaviour geeqie is trying to do here - it seems to scan *all* files under a given path, ignoring any filenames given. That's quite annoying when I'm asking it to just display a few files. :-/ -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts." -- Bertrand Russell
