In this video I demonstrate how to spawn, sxiv - Simple X image viewer, in a certain container and make a small script that will always add all image files in a folder to the image list.

the files used in this video can be found on github: https://github.com/budlabs/youtube/tree/master/letslinux/031-open-images

Be sure to check out gotbletu's video about sxiv, he shows more things then I cover in this one.

Below is the script I use to open all windows in the same directory as the selected one:

#!/bin/bash

targetImage="${1##/}"

for f in .{png,jpg}; do [[ "$f" = "$targetImage" ]] && continue images+=("$f") done

sxiv -b "$targetImage" "${images[@]}" &

Images in the video are from random movies. The terminator, robocop, fear and loathing in las vegas, trainspotting, full metal jacket, the shining, blues brothers, pulp fiction and ghost busters.

And some art related to black sabbath, the misfits, syd barret, miles davies, death grips.

Add this window rule to your i3 config: for_window [class="Sxiv"] title_format "sxiv" , focus; exec --no-startup-id exec i3fyra -m B

depends on i3fyra
