About loaded file restrictions.
For example, the following code loads the 10 most recently updated files.
gwenview $( find . -type f -printf '%T+\t%p\n' | sort -r | sed -Ee 's/^.*\t//g' | head )With gwenview, as a result of the above command, 10 files are displayed in the viewer. At first glance, it seems to be completely successful, but when you look at the file path, it shows /tmp/.., indicating that this approach treats them as temporary files.
When you try to delete a file, it appears to successfully delete the file, but the actual file in the current directory is not deleted.
For this command usage, using it with the premise of deleting files is not recommended for the reasons mentioned above. However, this usage might be suitable when there are too many files in the current directory and you only need to view them.
As for nomacs, it appears that this kind of file specification is not possible.
nomacs $( find . -type f -printf '%T+\t%p\n' | sort -r | sed -Ee 's/^.*\t//g' | head )
