nsxiv - Neo Simple X Image Viewer

nsxiv [-abcfhiopqrtvZ0] [-A FRAMERATE] [-e WID] [-G GAMMA] [-g GEOMETRY] [-N NAME] [-T TITLE] [-n NUM] [-S DELAY] [-s MODE] [-z ZOOM] FILE...

nsxiv is a simple image viewer for X.

It has two modes of operation: image and thumbnail mode. The default is image mode, in which only the current image is shown. In thumbnail mode a grid of small previews is displayed, making it easy to choose an image to open.

Please note, that the fullscreen mode requires an EWMH/NetWM compliant window manager.

-A FRAMERATE
Play animations with a constant frame rate set to FRAMERATE.
Play animations of multi-frame images.
Do not show info bar on bottom of window.
Remove all orphaned cache files from the thumbnail cache directory and exit.
-e WID
Embed nsxiv's window into window whose ID is WID.
Start in fullscreen mode.
-G GAMMA
Set image gamma to GAMMA (-32..32).
-g GEOMETRY
Set window position and size. See section GEOMETRY SPECIFICATIONS of X(7) for more information on GEOMETRY argument.
-N NAME
Set the resource name of nsxiv's X window to NAME.
Set the window title to TITLE. Use the format `prefix:suffixmode'. Any string literal is accepted for prefix, and the format of suffixmode is:


Value Format
0 Empty
1 Basename of file
2 Full path to file

By defualt, prefix is set to "nsxiv - " and suffixmode is set to 1 (basename).

-n NUM
Start at picture number NUM.
Print brief usage information to standard output and exit.
Read names of files to open from standard input. Also done if FILE is `-'.
Write list of all marked files to standard output when quitting. In combination with -i nsxiv can be used as a visual filter/pipe.
Enable private mode, in which nsxiv does not write any cache or temporary files.
Be quiet, disable warnings to standard error stream.
Search the given directories recursively for images to view.
Start in slideshow mode. Set the delay between images to DELAY seconds. DELAY may be a floating point number.
-s MODE
Set scale mode according to MODE character. Supported modes are: [d]own, [f]it, [F]ill, [w]idth, [h]eight.
Start in thumbnail mode.
Print version information to standard output and exit.
The same as `-z 100'.
Set zoom level to ZOOM percent.
-0
Use NULL-separator. With this option output of -o and file-list sent to the key-handler and the input of -i will be seperated by a NULL character.

The following keyboard commands are available in both image and thumbnail mode:

0-9
Prefix the next command with a number (denoted via count).

The following mouse mappings are available in image mode:

Pan the image according to the mouse cursor position in the window while keeping this button pressed down.
Pan the image relative to the mouse cursor.
Zoom in.
Zoom out.

The following X resources are supported:

Color of the window background
Color of the window foreground
Name of Xft bar font
Color of the bar background. Defaults to window.background
Color of the bar foreground. Defaults to window.foreground
Color of the mark foreground. Defaults to window.foreground

The information displayed on the left side of the status bar can be replaced with the output of a user-provided script, which is called by nsxiv whenever an image gets loaded. The path of this script is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nsxiv/exec/image-info and the arguments given to it are: 1) path to image file, 2) image width, 3) image height.

There is also an example script installed together with nsxiv as /usr/local/share/examples/nsxiv/image-info.

Additional external keyboard commands can be defined using a handler program located in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nsxiv/exec/key-handler. The handler is invoked by pressing Ctrl-x. The next key combo is passed as its first argument. Passed via stdin are the images to act upon: all marked images, if in thumbnail mode and at least one image has been marked, otherwise the current image. nsxiv(1) will block until the handler terminates. It then checks which images have been modified and reloads them.

By default nsxiv(1) will send one image per-line to stdin, however when using -0 the image list will be NULL separated and the enviornment variable "$NSXIV_USING_NULL" will be set to 1.

The key combo argument has the following form: "[C-][M-][S-]KEY", where C/M/S indicate Ctrl/Meta(Alt)/Shift modifier states and KEY is the X keysym as listed in /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h without the "XK_" prefix. If KEY has an uppercase equivalent, S-KEY is resolved into it. For instance, K replaces S-k and Scedilla replaces S-scedilla, but S-Delete is sent as-is.

There is also an example script installed together with nsxiv as /usr/local/share/examples/nsxiv/key-handler.

nsxiv stores all thumbnails under $XDG_CACHE_HOME/nsxiv/.

Use the command line option -c to remove all orphaned cache files. Additionally, run the following command afterwards inside the cache directory to remove empty subdirectories:

find . -depth -type d -empty ! -name '.' -exec rmdir {} \;
