πŸ‘‘ EOM(1) β€” it's giving image viewer, bestie

okay so this is the manual page for eom, living in section 1 of the General Commands Manual (that's the "user commands" section, iykyk) ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

eom β€” The Eye of MATE Image Viewer. yes that's its government name, and honestly? iconic πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

eom [--fullscreen] [--disable-image-collection] [--slide-show] [--new
instance] [FILES...]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So eom, aka the Eye of MATE, is the official image viewer for the MATE Desktop Environment 🫢 and its whole vibe is: simplistic, lightweight, easy to use. no bloat, no drama. it can also do lil basic tasks like flipping and rotating images, because sometimes your pic is just sideways and that's not a crime πŸ’€

The Eye of MATE comes with a flexible plugin system, which means you can dynamically add new advanced features to eom itself β€” plug it in, glow it up 🌈. eom uses the gdk-pixbuf library, so it can handle large images, zoom, and scroll with low memory usage. lowkey impressive, highkey slay πŸ”₯

This manual page briefly documents the eom command. (briefly! we're not writing a novel here, bestie πŸ“–)


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

  • filename(s)... β€” tells eom which image to open when it starts. if you don't give it one, eom opens with a blank window and you can open a file from the menu or with the shortcut CTRL+O. also, eom supports handling of remote files, so your pics can live on the internet and it's still fine ✈️
  • --display=DISPLAY β€” the X display to use.
  • -f, --fullscreen β€” start eom in fullscreen mode. main character energy, no distractions πŸ‘‘
  • -c, --disable-image-collection β€” disable the image collection viewer. not today, collection 🚫
  • -s, --slide-show β€” open in slideshow mode. presentation era 🎬
  • -n, --new-instance β€” start a brand new instance instead of reusing an existing window. fresh start, new me πŸ’–
  • --version β€” output version information and exit.
  • -h, --help β€” print standard command line options.
  • --help-all β€” print all command line options. the deluxe version, the full menu 🌟
also! this program accepts the standard GTK options too, so don't be shocked when they show up πŸ’œ
