Port of the week: sxiv

NILThis week I will talk about the command line image viewer

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**.
