💖 gthumb — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to gthumb(1) from the GNOME Applications manual set — yes it's a real manpage, and yes we're doing this together 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

gThumb — an image viewer and browser for GNOME. that's the whole vibe. she looks at your pictures and she also lets you browse them. iconic behavior honestly.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gthumb [--help] [--version] [-f] [--fullscreen] [-s] [--slideshow]
[--import-photos] [directory] [filename] ...

see how she takes a directory or a bunch of filenames? flexible queen 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, with gThumb you can browse your hard disk and view thumbnails of your image files. literally the whole point.

and she does NOT stop there, no ma'am. she also lets you:

• view single files (yes, including GIF animations 🎀)
• add comments to images
• organize images in catalogs
• print images
• view slideshows
• set your desktop background
• and more 😭 (the manpage literally says "and more", so that's what we're saying too, no cap)

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -f, --fullscreen — start in fullscreen mode. full immersion. main character energy, no distractions 🌈
• -s, --slideshow — automatically start a slideshow. she just starts performing on her own 🎀✨
• --import-photos — automatically import digital camera photos. plug the camera in and let her cook 📸
• --help — output help information and exit. she'll explain herself, then dip 👋
• --version — output version information and exit. she'll tell you who she is, then dip 💁

ngl the usual other GNOME options apply as well — that's straight from the source, so don't come for me if you pass a weird GNOME flag and it just works 🫶

---

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

to run this program the standard way, type:

gthumb

to view the content of a directory, type:

gthumb /path/to/directory

to view all images with jpg extension, type:

gthumb *.jpg

fr fr that last one is just your shell doing a glob and handing gThumb a whole pile of filenames. she eats them up 🔥
