The fastest way to view images from the terminal

command lineimagessoftware-rec

The terminal is very fast and convenient way to quickly access directories and files (faster than find and click on the directory).

One thing that it cannot show in text-mode is "pictures".

What is a best way to view pictures (like you see images thumbnail in Nautilus) when you are working in the terminal (e.g. command nautilus or any program – but should be fast and convenient)?

Best Answer

The way to "double-click" on a file from the command line is xdg-open.

If you're on Gnome (probably, if you're using Nautilus), you can use eog directly, or any other image program (feh is quite good). 

feh <image-name>

If you want to consult image-name file easilly.
