remote) image file.
SYNOPSISgimp-remote [-h] [--help] [-v] [--version] [-n] [--new]
filename...
DESCRIPTIONgimp-remote is a small utility that tells a running gimp
to open a (local or remote) image file. It does so by
searching for a gimp toolbox on the active display. If it
can find a gimp toolbox, a synthetic drop event is created
which makes gimp think the files would have been dropped
onto the toolbox. More than one filename or URL can be
specified on the commandline.
OPTIONSgimp-remote accepts the following options:
-h, --help
Display a list of all commandline options.
-v, --version
Output the version info.
-n, --new
If no running gimp is found, a new instance of
gimp is started. The files to open are passed to
the new gimp.
EXAMPLESgimp-remote http://www.gimp.org/icons/frontpage-small.gif
Loads an image from the gimp webpage into a running
gimp.
gimp-remote-n wilber.xcf wilma.xcf
Loads the local files wilber.xcf and wilma.xcf into
a running gimp. If no gimp is running, a new one
is started.
ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
