Description: | |
This week I will talk about the command line image viewer | |
**sxiv**. While it's a command line tool, of course it spawn a X | |
window to display the pictures. It's _very_ light and easy of use, | |
it's my favorite image viewer. | |
Quick start: (you should read the man page for more informations) | |
- **sxiv file1 file2...** : Sxiv open **only** files given as | |
parameter or filenames from stdin | |
- **p/n** : previous/next | |
- **f** : fullscreen | |
- **12 G** : go to 12th image of the list | |
- **Return** : switch to the thumbnails mode / select the image from | |
the thumbnails mode | |
- **q** : quit | |
- a lot more in the well written man page ! | |
For power users who have a LOT of pictures to sort: Sxiv has a nice | |
function that let you _mark_ images you see and dump the list of | |
marked images in a file (see parameter **-o**). | |
Tip for zsh users, if you want to read every jpg files in a tree, you | |
can use **`sxiv **/*.jpg`** globbing as seen in the Zsh cheat sheet | |
:). | |
In OpenBSD ports tree, check **graphics/sxiv**. | |
