NAME
gimp-remote - tells a running GIMP to open a (local or remote) image file.
SYNOPSIS
gimp-remote
[-h] [--help] [-v] [--version] [--display display]
[-e] [--existing] [-q] [--query] filename ...
DESCRIPTION
gimp-remote is a small utility that tells a running GIMP to open
one or more (local or remote) image files. 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.
If no GIMP window is found, gimp-remote will start a new GIMP
instance and ask it to load the specified images. If no filename or
URL is given, gimp-remote will start a new GIMP. This behaviour
can be altered using the command-line options described below.
OPTIONS
gimp-remote accepts the following options:
- -h, --help
-
Display a list of all commandline options.
- -v, --version
-

- --display display

-
If no running GIMP instance is found, don't start a new one but exit.
- -q, --query
-
Check if GIMP is running and exit. A status code of 0 indicates that
a GIMP toolbox window has been found on this display.
