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]  [-s] [--no-splash] 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 syn‐
       thetic 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
	       Output the version info.

       --display display
	       Use the designated X display.

       -e, --existing
	       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.

       -s, --no-splash
	       When starting GIMP, do not show the splash screen.

EXAMPLES
       gimp-remote http://www.gimp.org/images/wilber_the_gimp.png

	      starts a new one.

	      GIMP or starts a new one.
