# Compatible with ranger 1.6.*

# This script searches image files in a directory, opens them all with sxiv
# and sets the first argument to the first image displayed by sxiv.
#
# This is supposed to be used in rifle.conf as a workaround for the fact that
# sxiv takes no file name arguments for the first image, just the number.
# Copy this file somewhere into your $PATH and add this at the top of rifle.conf:
#
#   mime ^image, has sxiv, X, flag f = path/to/this/script -- "$@"
#
