Is it possible to start a slide show from the command line (specifying
the folder to run)? System is Debian, if it matters. I didn't find
the answer in the "man" listing or other docs, so if there is a way to
do it, can anybody point the way? Thanks.

It is possible:

gwenview -s <folder>

gwenview -s <folder>
I'm running 1.4.2, and I get:

gwenview: Unknown option '-s'.
gwenview: Use --help to get a list of available command line options.

Version 1.4.2 seems to be the latest, or is there a later version?

Oh. 1.4.2 is the latest version for KDE3, but it's not maintained
anymore. the -s option is from version 2.x which is based on KDE4.

Ok, thanks. It's too bad, because I love Gwenview. With this one
exception, it does everything I want better than any other program.

Thanks.

Maybe it's time to switch to KDE4? :)

Thanks, but I tried a program called feh and it does everything I need.
