Created attachment 160328 [details] [review] git diff patch for single window viewing This adds the functionality which was expected in bug 555008. Also referenced in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/278107 The patch adds the -s / --single-window command line parameter. If specified, the images get opened in the same window instead of opening a new window. If there are multiple windows open, the first one is chosen.
This should be marked as a duplicate of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556286 as it describes the same problem, and provides a patch for it.
Created attachment 194732 [details] [review] revision 2 of the patch for single window viewing I changed (and fixed) the patch so it now works with the current HEAD (655e57e45787594dbb0bb791159cf9f3c9ba5335).
Review of attachment 194732 [details] [review]: While this is not exactly what is requested in bug 555008 it's on the way to it. Can you provide us with a git commit-diff (git format-patch) with your full name and email set? We need this to check it into our git.
