1) Edit your ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml

(on Lubuntu it is ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml)

2) Before </applications>, paste:

<application name="geeqie">
  <fullscreen>true</fullscreen>
</application>

3) At a terminal, run openbox --reconfigure

4) Start Geeqie

5) right-click the Geeqie window > [_] Hide file list

I recently switched back to from GPicView to Geeqie because I need in-place renaming, and easy deletion. The file similarity feature also might come in handy.

• It keeps a recent file list, but its configuration doesn't allow it to be set to 0, so I made these changes to ~/.config/geeqie/geeqierc.xml :

            open_recent_list_maxsize = "0" 
        last_path = ""

.. however, it does not respect last_path being blanked out. Sigh. This is a major security oversight.

• It does not allow left and right as keybindings for displaying the previous/next image.

  • Editing ~/.config/geeqie/accels to set it manually is not honoured. Sigh.

• Fullscreen (f) and then trying to do something like F2 to rename does not show that dialog. Trying to interact with the windowing environment in general will get one into all kinds of trouble. Basically the screen is hijacked in fullscreen mode.

This comes with Slackware 14.1

• Cannot view animated gifs.

2015-05-10 - 1.1 ∞

off the top of my head:

• Cannot view animated gifs.

  • Seriously? Sigh.
  • Probably not animated PNGs either. Is there even such a thing? I guess people went to webm.
