              with or without either path or extension (.gqv) may be used.

              If more than one folder is on the command line, only the last
              will be used.

              If more than one file is on the command line:

              If they are in the same folder, that folder will be opened and
              those files will be selected.  If they are not in the same
              folder, a new Collection containing those files will be opened.

              To run Geeqie as a new instance, use: GQ_NEW_INSTANCE=y[es]
              geeqie Normally a single set of configuration files is used for
              all instances.  However, the environment variables
              XDG_CONFIG_HOME, XDG_CACHE_HOME, XDG_DATA_HOME can be used to
              modify this behavior on an individual basis e.g.
              XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/tmp/a XDG_CACHE_HOME=/tmp/b GQ_NEW_INSTANCE=y
              geeqie

              To run or stop Geeqie in cache maintenance (non-GUI) mode use:
              GQ_CACHE_MAINTENANCE=y[es] geeqie --help Note that bash command
              line completion does not work in this mode.
