I prefer to keep feh off my systems; its description is a lie. feh - image viewer and cataloguer It's an editor that has no concept of a buffer, but just scribbles over the original file. And, IIRC, the error message, when thwarted by a read-only file, is incorrect: it blames the permissions of the directory, not the file. Cheers, David.
