I’ve grown up with computers, moving from commandline to GUI as they did – and image viewers have grown with the changes – with my new system, I have a full GUI, but I’ve found myself viewing images from the commandline to be more appealing in no small part thanks to shell wildcards and globbing – slowly ingesting my old SD cards and doing it into a basic ~/pictures/year/month/day/filename.ext directory structure makes things easier

    (view all JPEGs for 2019)
$ imv ~/pictures/2019/*/*/*.jpg
    (view JPEGs from Thailand trips)
$ imv ~/pictures/*/*/*/*thailand*
    (list out all Panasonic GX7 files)
$ ls ~/pictures/*/*/*/*.RW2
    (same, but get a basic count of how many)
$ ls -l ~/pictures/*/*/*/*.RW2 | wc -l
    (view JPEGs from "this day" in previous years)
$ imv ~/pictures/*/04/10/*.jpg
