feh slideshow start index

In feh, I can start a name-sorted slideshow with feh -S name ., but I don't see how to specify which image I'd like the slideshow to start at. Can I do this?

In eog (gnome's image viewer), opening an image automatically does this. I'm not using Gnome anymore, though, so I'm trying out other image viewers, of which feh seems to be the favorite.

I think this isn't possible with feh. I would recommend impressive for slideshows and presentations. e.g. `impressive -i 5 *.jpeg` will start a slideshow starting with the 5th image.

As it just takes a list of files, you can easily tell feh to show whatever files you want in whatever order you want. The -f option allows you to specify the list of files to display. You can either hand create it, or write a script to create it, or whatever.

feh -Sfilename --start-at /path/img.png /path

It's also possible with qiv.
qiv -B /path/img.png

I'm actually the guy who made the feature request for --start-at. This is my setup:

[feh.desktop]
Exec=$wrapper %f

[$wrapper]
#!/bin/sh

feh --start-at "$1" "$(dirname "$1")"

With Thunar you can get away with just
[feh.desktop]
Exec=feh --start-at %f

but with Nautilus and PCManFM (what I use), you need the wrapper.
