NAME
pho - View and annotate multiple images
SYNTAX
pho [options] [filename[filename...]]
DESCRIPTION
pho displays images, in the formats handled by the gdk-pixbuf package,
to an X display. It is intended as a lightweight and fast viewer,
optimized for rapidly going through large numbers of uploaded images.
pho is entirely keyboard driven, and allows for interactive rotation
and taking of notes on each image. It resizes after rotations and will
always attempt to show the image as large as possible. The final rota‐
tion reached for each image will be remembered and printed when the
program exits (for use with a batch image rotation script).
pho can also remember up to ten lists of images (numbered 0-9) which
can correspond to anything the user wishes. The image lists will be
printed to standard output when pho exits. Use this to keep notes on
which images you want to save to the web, which images contain images
of your dog, etc.
COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS
-p "Presentation mode": display in full screen mode with a black
background (if the window manager allows it).
-P Force non-presentation mode (e.g. if you set PHO_ARGS=-p).
-n Replace each image with a new window (slower, but helpful for
some broken window managers).
-k Keywords mode: display images scaled down, and show a Keywords
dialog for classifying images. (Keywords mode will cancel Pre‐
sentation mode.)
-sN Automatic Slideshow mode, where N is the delay in seconds. For
example, -s5 will show pause 5 seconds between images. -s0
means no delay.
-d Debug mode: may print a few debugging messages to standard out‐
put.
-h Help: print a usage statement. -v Verbose help: print a summary
of key bindings.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
PHO_ARGS: default flag settings
(e.g. set it to -p to use presentation mode by default). Any
flags given on the command line will override these settings.
PHO_REMOTE: the command to call when you press the 'g' key.
Include a %s to represent the filename of the current image.
(Defaults to gimp %s).
KEY BINDINGS
When pho is running, it obeys the following keys:
[space]
Go to next image. Or cancel slideshow mode, if active.
[backspace]
Go to previous image
r, t, [right-arrow]
Rotate right (clockwise)
R, T, l, L, [left-arrow]
Rotate left (counter-clockwise)
[up-arrow], [down-arrow]
Rotate 180 degrees.
Home Go back to the first image.
d Delete (will bring up a confirmation dialog; clicking OK or typ‐
ing another d deletes the file).
i Show a dialog with information about the image, including EXIF
tags.
0 through 9
Add the image to the appropriate notes list
f Toggle in/out of "full size mode". Images will be shown at
their native size, even if it's bigger than the screen size.
(Hint: Many window managers let you move oversized windows with
alt-drag.)
F Toggle in/out of "full screen mode" (or "fit to window").
Images will be scaled up or down to fill the screen in at least
one dimension.
p Toggle in/out of "presentation mode". If the window manager
permits, pho will take up the full screen with the image (if
smaller) centered.
+, = Magnify: show the image at twice the current size.
/, - Unmagnify: show the image at half the current size.
q Quit
ENVIRONMENT
Pho checks for the environment variable PHO_ARGS, which can contain
flags to use as default arguments. For example, PHO_ARGS=p will always
run pho in presentation mode (unless you pass -P to turn off that
mode).
