How to read in images from file?

[wreckedred]

Thank you your software.

I have a list of absolute paths to images in a file - how would I read them in to swayimg?

Something like...

swayimg --from-file=myimages.txt

I will add this feature, but for now you can use the following workaround:

xargs -a filelist.txt swayimg -c list.all=no

Thank you - would be a nice addition.

I don't believe this should be added, this is exactly why we have shell scripting. In fish you can even do this without xargs:

swayimg (cat list.txt)

This will not work if you have spaces in the file name.

It will, since fish does expansion properly. I did test it before sending that as well.
