Not working with xargs #3

Closed sarnobat closed 5 years ago

sarnobat commented 5 years ago

If I try to run this excellent tool inside a command such as this (which I do heavily):

find images/ -iname "*dog*.jpg" | xargs -n 1 imgcat

you get:

error: when reading from stdin, arg should not be given

What should happen in this usage model is that imgcat should run one arg at a time on each file that matches the glob pattern *dog*.jpg.

Is there any chance this can be fixed? Once it is, the tool is perfect :)

Good point. Fixed in ad467da -- please try out the development version until it gets released.

Works perfectly. This could revolutionize how I use my computer :)
