💖 IMV-DIR — the manual, but make it slay

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for imv-dir, living in the IMV(1) section of the manual. it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "little sibling of a much bigger tool" energy, and we're gonna read it together. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

imv-dir — open imv for all the images in a directory. that's the whole job. it opens imv, but for everything in the folder. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so imv-dir is a lil wrapper around imv, right? and what it does is it auto-selects the directory where the image is located, so that the next and previous commands work exactly the same way they do in all your other image viewers. no cap, that's the entire vibe shift. you open one image, and suddenly the whole folder is in the rotation. 💅

⚠️ heads up bestie — this wrapper supports only a single image. that's not a bug, that's just the deal. if you wanna open multiple images, use plain imv instead. periodt. 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

that's it. one argument. one path. go off. ✨
