* When the user wants to execute a custom command it is useful to be able to refer to the filenames of the images that have been selected with the prefix. In order to do that it is possible to make use of the following placeholders.

  • %s is replaced with the original file

  • %S is replaced by all original files

  • %e is replaced with the edited file or the original file if not edited (see Scripts)

  • %E is replaced by all the edited files or the original files if not edited

  • %d is replaced with the destination file in edit scripts

Example:

:(2) ! feh %s
