Question

I have a collection of photos, which is stored under various sub-directories. How do I start a slideshow of the photos, without moving or copying the photos into one directory.

Answer

Using “Eye of Gnome”:

FILELIST=()
while read FILE ; do
	FILELIST+=( "$FILE" )
done < <(find -type f)
eog -s "${FILELIST[@]}" &

Using "gThumb":

FILELIST=()
while read FILE ; do
	FILELIST+=( "$FILE" )
done < <(find -type f)
gthumb -s "${FILELIST[@]}" &
