NAME

       wallch - Wallpaper Changer

SYNOPSIS

       wallch [options]

DECRIPTION

       Wallch   is   a   free  and  open-source application for managing your desktop background.  It comes with
       various functions, such as rotating your hard drive's wallpapers, live earth, wikipedia  picture  of  the
       day, wallpaper clocks and live website.  It  supports Gnome (with or without Unity integration), LXDE and
       XFCE desktop environments.  Wallch can work with or without  its  Graphical  User  Interface,  for  extra
       lightweightness.

OPTIONS

       Please  notice that all the options, except from --change, --help, --cache, --fcache, and --version, will
       be sent to  the  already running instance of Wallch, if there is one.
       --help
           Shows a menu with the available options.
       --change[=DIRECTORY]
           Picks  a random image and sets it as desktop background from the last  used  folder.  However,  if  a
           DIRECTORY  is  specified,  then that directory is recursively searched for images and a random one is
           picked from there.
       --start
           Starts the wallpaper changing process using the last specified folder.
       --earth
           Starts the live earth process.
       --potd
           Starts the picture of the day process.
       --clock
           Starts the wallpaper clocks process.
       --website
           Starts the live website process.
       --stop
           Stops any running process, like live earth or picture of the day.
       --quit
           Closes any instances of the program.
       --next
           Proceeds to the next image, if available. This works only when the normal wallpaper changing  process
           is running.
       --previous
           Proceeds  to  the  previous  image,  if available. This works only when the normal wallpaper changing
           process is running.
       --pause
           Pauses the normal wallpaper changing process.
       --cache DIRECTORY
           Searches DIRECTORY recursively for supported images and  caches  them.  This  allows  a  much  better
           experience   when  viewing  the images  of this DIRECTORY from Wallch, because they load much faster.
           Please note that this argument takes into consideration the cache limit and may  delete  some  cached
           images  of  the specified folder if this limit is exceeded. Wallch by default caches the images while
           they are being viewed, so this option may only be used if the user does not  want  to  wait  for  the
           pictures to load and be cached when viewed for the first time from Wallch.
       --fcache DIRECTORY
           Same  as  --cache  but  without  taking  into  consideration  the  cache limits. If you open Wallch's
           Graphical User Interface  afterwards,  the  limits will be taken into  consideration  and  the  extra
           images  will  be  deleted. Wallch calculates which images are most likely not to be seen according to
           the last used folder, and it deletes the extra images from the cache, if the limit is exceeded.  This
           option  is  useful  when you simply want to generate thumbnails for all the images in a folder or you
           simply don't want to wait for Wallch to calculate and delete the extra images for the time being.
       --version
           Shows the program's version.
