NAME
       Inkview - an SVG viewer and slideshow program.

SYNOPSIS
       "inkview [options] [filename ...]"

       options:

           -h, --help
           -V, --version

           -f, --fullscreen
           -r, --recursive
           -t, --timer=NUMBER
           -s, --scale=NUMBER
           -p, --preload

DESCRIPTION
       Inkview is an Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) viewer that can also be
       used for slideshows or presentations. One or more FILES or FOLDERS can
       be specified on the command-line for opening. Inkview will display all
       SVG files in the given order. Folders will be expanded to a list of
       contained SVG files.

       You can also launch Inkview without any command-line arguments, which
       will bring up a file chooser that allows to select files and folders
       via a graphical user interface.

OPTIONS
       -?, --help
               Show help options

       -V, --version
               Print Inkview version and build date (this is usually matches
               the Inkscape version).

       -f, --fullscreen
               Launch Inkview in fullscreen mode.

       -r, --recursive
               Search folders specified on the command line recursively for
               SVG files.  This means all SVG files in all subfolders of the
               specified folder will be opened.

       -t, --timer=NUMBER
               Change to the next image every NUMBER seconds

       -s, --scale=NUMBER
               Show image scaled by a factor of NUMBER instead of using the
               file's native size.

       -p, --preload
               Preloads all SVG files. Inkview still needs to render images
               upon showing, however this option ensures all SVG files are
               already parsed and loaded into memory. This option can also be
               used to verify if all files can be opened properly, without
               having to cycle through all files manually.

KEYBINDINGS
       •       Left, Page Up, or Backspace: show previous image

       •       Right, Page Down, or Space: show next image

       •       Up, or Home: go to first image

       •       Down, or End: go to last image

       •       Return: show control window

       •       F11: toggle fullscreen mode

       •       Escape or Q: quit

EXAMPLES
       Open two SVG files for viewing:

           inkview file1.svg file2.svg

       Open all SVG files in the examples folder shipped with Inkscape:

           inkview B</usr/share>/inkscape/examples

       Launch a fullscreen slideshow that automatically changes to the next
       image every 5 seconds:

           inkview --fullscreen --timer=5 [files/folders ...]
