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.
