Introduction

The Ristretto Image Viewer is an application that can be used to view, and scroll through images.

It can be used to run a slideshow of images, open images with other applications like an image-editor or configure an image as the desktop wallpaper.

This manual describes how you can use Ristretto, and how you can configure it to your preferences.

Manual actions required for some version changes

As of version 0.12.0, the name of the Ristretto launcher has changed from ristretto.desktop to org.xfce.ristretto.desktop, which breaks the mime type mapping. To fix this, just run this command:

 sed -Ei.bak 's/([=;])(ristretto.desktop)/\1org.xfce.\2/' ~/.config/mimeapps.list

The original mime type file will be kept as ~/.config/mimeapps.list.bak after running this command.
