Window Options

Restores saved window sizes and maximized states between Geeqie sessions. In GTK4, Geeqie does not restore window coordinates or monitor placement; the window manager or compositor controls where windows appear.

Remember which workspace a window was displayed in. This is supported on X11 and is separate from monitor placement.

Maintains the selection set by View ▸ File and Folders ▸ Float File List ( L )

When enabled, the Info sidebar and Sort Manager stay with the folders and files in the floating tools window. The main window contains the image or split images. Docking the tools returns the sidebars beside the image. This option is disabled by default and applies to open windows when you apply Preferences. Hiding floating tools also hides their sidebars.

Restores saved dialog window sizes between Geeqie sessions. The window manager or compositor controls dialog placement; Geeqie does not restore dialog coordinates or monitor placement.

By default, windows are decorated with a title bar, resize controls, etc. If this option is selected, some window managers may be able to disable these decorations, creating a borderless window.

Show the window ID in the titlebar of each window. When multiple Geeqie windows are opened, this option shows a unique identifier for each window. It may be used in conjunction with the command line option: --id=<ID>

Press the Set button to store the current window layout for use as the default for all new windows.

The main window will be resized to accommodate each image's size and proportions when the image pane is the only one visible within the window.

This will restrict the maximum size a window can grow to automatically fit an image. The value represents the percentage of the desktop size in width and height.

Selects the location and position of the full screen window. 'Determined by window manager' will leave the window placement up to the window manager. 'Active screen' places the window on the same screen as the Geeqie main window. 'Active monitor' does the same, but limits the full screen window size to the monitor containing the main window. The remaining choices are dependent on the multiple monitor configuration.

This option delays the image change in full screen until the next image is entirely decoded into memory, the result is a smoother transition between images.

This option will execute xscreensaver-command --deactivate once per minute to avoid the screen saver from activating when Geeqie is displayed full screen.
