#!/bin/sh
# Compatible with ranger 1.6.0 through 1.7.*
#
# 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 $PATH and add this at the top of rifle.conf:
#
#   mime ^image, has sxiv, X, flag f = path/to/this/script -- "$@"
#
# Implementation notes: this script is quite slow because of POSIX limitations
# and portability concerns. First calling the shell function 'abspath' is
# quicker than calling 'realpath' because it would fork a whole process, which
# is slow. Second, we need to append a file list to sxiv, which can only be done
# properly in two ways: arrays (which are not POSIX) or \0 sperated
# strings. Unfortunately, assigning \0 to a variable is not POSIX either (will
# not work in dash and others), so we cannot store the result of listfiles to a
# variable.
