#!/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 note: the script tries to be POSIX compliant both in terms of # shell syntax and calls being made to external utilities, such as grep or find. # This makes it portable across many unix like systems, although it may not be # the cleanest or fastest approach. # # 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 three 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. # # The third approach is to store the result to a tmpfile and using `-i` to feed # the list to sxiv. This is the fastest approach since we won't have to call # listfiles twice. tmp="/tmp/sxiv_rifle_$$" listfiles () { find -L "///${1%/*}" \( ! -path "///${1%/*}" -prune \) -type f -print | grep -iE '\.(jpe?g|png|gif|webp|tiff|bmp)$' | sort | tee "$tmp" } is_img () { case "${1##*.}" in "jpg"|"jpeg"|"png"|"gif"|"webp"|"tiff"|"bmp") return 0 ;; *) return 1 ;; esac } open_img () { is_img "$1" || exit 1 trap 'rm -f $tmp' EXIT count="$(listfiles "$1" | grep -nF "$1")" if [ -n "$count" ]; then sxiv -i -n "${count%%:*}" -- < "$tmp" else sxiv -- "$@" # fallback fi } [ "$1" = '--' ] && shift case "$1" in "") echo "Usage: ${0##*/} PICTURES" >&2; exit 1 ;; /*) open_img "$1" ;; "~"/*) open_img "$HOME/${1#"~"/}" ;; *) open_img "$PWD/$1" ;; esac
