To run Geeqie as a new instance, use: GQ_NEW_INSTANCE=y[es] geeqie Normally a single set of configuration files is used for all instances. However, the environment variables XDG_CONFIG_HOME, XDG_CACHE_HOME, XDG_DATA_HOME can be used to modify this behavior on an individual basis e.g. XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/tmp/a XDG_CACHE_HOME=/tmp/b GQ_NEW_INSTANCE=y geeqie
-
To run or stop Geeqie in cache maintenance (non-GUI) mode use: GQ_CACHE_MAINTENANCE=y[es] geeqie --help Note that bash command line completion does not work in this mode.
