Since gimp doesn't have an image viewer (no problem) I just use the kde (konqueror). I just selected the images I wanted to open then on one of them I right clicked and chose open with gimp....behold 10 sessions of gimp opened up. So is there an argument for gimp that says "Ok if a gimp session is open, just use that session to open these images." I read the man pages and there was some session argument but no idea how to use it.

You are really stretching my crystal ball. There are small but significant differences with the different distros and with the different gimp versions.

On my SuSE 9.0 with gimp 2.05 I use 'gimp-remote-2.0', as a command, not an argument.

The next question by you would get a better/more thorough applicable answer if you would take the time to tell us the conditions. Think about it.

Hi,

Konqueror should call gimp-remote instead of gimp. Actually if it doesn't do that, that would be a bug in Konqueror that you should report to the KDE developers. KDE is supposed to read the gimp.desktop file that is installed by GIMP installs and this file explicitely asks for gimp-remote to be used.

Hi.

Instead of telling konqueror and other apps to open images with the GIMP, tell them to open with gimp-remote instead.

Gimp-remote is an wrapper installed side by side with the GIMP that does just that: if there is no gimp running, run a new one. Else, open your image on the existing gimp.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
