gimp: Open specific files in a new window.
$ gimp --new-instance ${path-to-image1 path-to-image2 ---}
try on your machine
The command "gimp --new-instance ${path-to-image1 path-to-image2 ---}" is a command-line instruction used to open multiple image files in separate instances of GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) simultaneously.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "gimp" is the name or path of the GIMP application.
- "--new-instance" is a command-line option that tells GIMP to open a new instance for each image file.
- "${path-to-image1 path-to-image2 ---}" is a placeholder for the actual paths to the image files that you want to open. The "---" indicates that the path list can be extended to include additional image files.
To use this command, you need to replace "${path-to-image1 path-to-image2 ---}" with the actual paths to the image files you want to open. For example, if you want to open two image files named "image1.png" and "image2.jpg" located in the "/home/user/images/" directory, the command would be:
"gimp --new-instance /home/user/images/image1.png /home/user/images/image2.jpg"
