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**. |
