Using imagemagick as an image viewer.

Did you know that you could use imagemagick as an image viewer :? Well I didn’t until recently & it’s super easy to do so. Simply create & save the super small bash script below & call it from the terminal or from a custom action within your file manager. You’ll just need to change 1920x1200 to whatever your screen resolution is.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Open images with imagemagick....

display -resize 1920x1200 "$1"

I saved the script to /usr/bin/image so all I have to do now is run image $/path/to/image.jpeg when in a terminal.
