Hi anyone who knows better about Geeqie! As an old Gqview user I am now adopting Geeqie, a really handsome lightweight image viewer/editor, 'editor' in the sense that various image modification functions may be tied to it for simplified everyday image administration!
I am glad to see that it is probably continued. If you do not have translator already I should have some time to help with the Swedish translation. Some questions, however. In Gqview, when a script was programmed for application on selected images, the image file names were fed into the script (via the right-click menu) as a multi-file argument string, that is the file names, each separated by a space (if clicked in the thumbnail list with selection). Now applying the desktop-file convention for Geeqie, I have succeded to define custom commands almost as in Gqview, but the script will be executed once for each image file and not once with the file array argument like was the case with Gqview. Question 1: Is there a way to have scripts called in Geeqie in the same way as in Gqview? The usefullness is really lessened if this is not possible; e.g. trimming hundreds of pictures etc., which else has to be programmed outside the viewer with problems to indentify and select the right files, for example. Question 2: I did add some notes in my .desktop file. Do the agree with what is currently correct? See below. The first question refers mostly, I think, to the %f argument or what could possibly be used instead. And here is an excerpt from my .desktop file: ... # Call the helper script executable: # If the executable is missing, this desktop entry will be checked 'Hidden' # in the Geeqie 'Edit > Preferences > Configure Editors' dialog table. # You cannot uncheck it but it will not be checked if # 1. the executable does exist # 2. there is a Mime type match # 3. an argument like %f is present # 4. the category is X-Geeqie TryExec=myscript Exec=myscript %f ...
