When browsing through the images in a directory with feh, the magnification can be changed by use of the up/down arrow keys, but the setting is lost as soon as the next image in the series is loaded. Is there a way to apply the magnification setting selected for image i to image i+1? If not, is this possible in another lightweight image viewer?

In the context menu for the right mouse button in the image, there is: Options -> Keep viewport zoom & pos.

That should do just what you need.

To start feh with that option set:

$ feh --keep-zoom-vp ...

To set the option by default:

alias feh="feh --keep-zoom-vp"

  • Thank you. I notice that this works well for certain image formats (e.g., png, jpeg) but not for tif files. In this case, the image displays, but the viewport settings change each time a new image is loaded (along with printing to standard error of the message: "TIFFReadDirectory: Warning, Unknown field with tag 37553 (0x92b1) encountered."). – user001 Sep 09 '14 at 01:47

    The command-line flag for this option is `--keep-zoom-vp` – JellicleCat Dec 05 '20 at 02:32
  • You can create an alias to make it default `alias feh="feh --keep-zoom-vp"` – Isin Altinkaya Jul 14 '23 at 13:05
