okay so bestie, you're looking at the manual page for pix — it lives in section 1 of the manual, and it's literally your new fave image viewer/browser. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Pix — an image viewer and browser. that's the whole vibe. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so with Pix you can browse your hard disk while it shows you thumbnails of your image files — like scrolling your camera roll but on your actual computer, iconic. 📸

it also lets you view single files (yes, including GIF animations, we love a moving picture moment 🫶), add comments to images, organize images in catalogs, print images, view slideshows, set your desktop background, and more. it's giving main character energy honestly. 💅

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • -f, --fullscreen — starts off in fullscreen mode. no distractions, just you and the picture. 🔥
  • -s, --slideshow — automatically starts a slideshow. press play on your whole photo library, periodt. ✨
  • --import-photos — automatically imports digital camera photos. plug in, get pics, no cap. 📷
  • --help — outputs help information and exits. the "wait what does this do again" button. 🙈
  • --version — outputs version information and exits. for when you gotta know exactly which build you're on. ⭐
heads up bestie: the usual other GNOME options apply as well, so don't be surprised if your fave GNOME flags work here too. 🌈
