------------------------------------------------------------------------------- XV - X windows Image Viewer I find it is still better as a general image viewer with basic video modifications that most of the fancy newer ones. It has a new lease on live with active contributions. https://github.com/jasper-software/xv ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WindowID patch -windowid windowid Display XV window within the window specified. This lets you use it with netscape 'plugger' module. Some plugger configuration Here is some of the plugger configuration code I used: image/tiff: tiff,tif: TIFF image image/x-tiff: tiff,tif: TIFF image image/sun-raster: rs: SUN raster image image/x-sun-raster: rs: SUN raster image : xv -rmode 10 -windowid $window $file -quit image/png: png: PNG image image/x-png: png: PNG image : xv -rmode 10 -windowid $window $file -quit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Drift to fix drifting winodw problems. See http://www.trilon.com/xv/faq.html#drifting-window Use -drift dx dy to counteract the drift that the window is seeing. For example xv directory_of_images/* -drift -1 -1 -wait 0 -wloop Can also be set in a X resource variable xv*driftKludge: -1 -1 The problem I have with this is that the window drift fix for one setup fails for the same setup on a different display or situation! The better fix for a slide show is to use a -geometry position patch, that rembers and 'position fixes' the main Xv window at the given geometry position. See xv_mods.txt in this directory. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
