open and view files via terminal

[desmondttm123]

Hi guys! i wanted to create an exe command on desktop using chmod. i want to run the raspberry pi camera command raspistill -o image.jpg command and i want a command to open the file in full screen. I'm using a tft screen so i don't know how to enable preview for the image taken. is there a command to open files via terminal? thanks!

I use fbi on the command line to display jpegs.

sudo apt-get install fbi

Not tried with the desktop, just from the terminal (no X running)

hi thanks for the links!
i installed fbi, and wrote it on chmod but still did not work. if the directory is root > home > pi, do i have to include it? if so how?

my command inside the chmod is
/*
raspistill -o image.jpg
fbi -h image.jpg
*/

you need to learn bash programming for that. a little bit different coding

the simplest code should look something like this (I haven't tested it as I don't use raspicamera, but it should work):

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
while true
do
    echo "Enter a file name"
    read filename
    raspistill -o $filename
    sleep 10
    fbi -h $filename
done

save it as let's say raspidisplay.sh
chmod 775
and run ./raspidisplay.sh
