That's fast! It seems even faster then using mpv, even though you can't use it like this from the command line.

mpv *.jpeg --shuffle --loop-playlist --image-display-duration=2.0 --fullscreen

I remember, 30 years ago there were similar ultrafast image viewers for DOS, they didn't even need windows. I was partial to QPV/386, but there were others. Linux console has fim. It was great to be able to zoom and pan with the keyboard.

Being able to launch Electro via CLI would be awesome! Never really done something like that - might have a look at implementing it (unless you want to contribute :^)

The project is in its infancy at the moment. Features like keyboard controls to zoom etc. are all on the table - I love when users give me all these ideas for where to take the project
