[request] start slideshows at file's position about feh HOT 6 CLOSED

You mean something like making --start-at also work for filenames, as in "feh --start-at ./foo.jpg ."?
I don't really know why you'd need this often enough to warrant an option for that, but.. hm. Might also be usable in case someone ever wants to use feh together with nautilus/dolphin or something like that.
So I might implement this in the course of the next weeks... I'll tell you if/when it's done ;)

Yeah, that would be awesome.

That's exactly the use-case I was thinking of. Right now the only reason I have mirage installed is because it's easier to start slideshows with it.

Cool, thanks :)

Okay, implemented and working now. Either feh --start-at foo.jpg * or feh --start-at ./foo.jpg . - if you find any quirks, please let me know.

quirks

--start-at foo.jpg
--start-at /path/to/foo.jpg

neither of these work; feh keeps complaining that they're not in the filelist.

This is what I'm using in my feh.desktop:

Exec=feh --start-at ./%n .

it only works if I launch my file browser (PCManFM2) from the directory I want to browse.

from feh.

The problem is that pcmanfm does not change the current working directory, which is IMHO not feh's fault. The following wrapper script should do the job (Exec=$wrapper %f):

#!/bin/sh
feh --sort filename --start-at "$1" "$(dirname $1)"

from feh.

Apparently Nautilus doesn't change the working directory either, but Thunar does.

Oh well, time to go bug the pcmanfm devs now :).
