viewnior: View fullscreen in slideshow mode.
$ viewnior --slideshow ${path-to-image-ext}
try on your machine

The command viewnior --slideshow ${path-to-image-ext} is used to launch the Viewnior image viewer in slideshow mode.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • viewnior: This is the executable command for the Viewnior image viewer. It is the program used to view and interact with images.
  • --slideshow: This option tells Viewnior to start in slideshow mode. Slideshow mode automatically displays a series of images one after another, without user intervention.
  • ${path-to-image-ext}: This placeholder is where you should provide the path to the directory containing the images you want to view in the slideshow. Replace ${path-to-image-ext} with the actual path to the directory. Additionally, make sure that the images have a supported file extension (e.g., .jpg, .png, etc.).

For example, if you wanted to start a slideshow of images located in the "/home/user/images" directory, you would use the following command:

viewnior --slideshow /home/user/images

The Viewnior image viewer will then launch and display the images in a slideshow format, starting with the first image in the specified directory.
