#!/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, using case statement to get absolute path 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. listfiles () { find -L "///${target%/*}" -maxdepth 1 -type f -iregex \ '.*\(jpe?g\|png\|gif\|webp\|tiff\|bmp\)$' -print0 | sort -z } is_img () { case "${1##*.}" in "jpg"|"jpeg"|"png"|"gif"|"webp"|"tiff"|"bmp") return 0 ;; *) return 1 ;; esac } [ "$1" = '--' ] && shift case "$1" in "") echo "Usage: ${0##*/} PICTURES" >/dev/stderr && exit ;; /*) target="$1" ;; "~"/*) target="$HOME/${1#"~"/}" ;; *) target="$PWD/$1" ;; esac is_img "$target" && count="$(listfiles | grep -m 1 -ZznF "$target")" if [ -n "$count" ]; then listfiles | xargs -0 sxiv -n "${count%%:*}" -- else sxiv -- "$@" # fallback fi
