       Inkview - an SVG viewer and slideshow program.

SYNOPSIS

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

       options:

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

           -f, --fullscreen
           -r, --recursive

           -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.
