Piping commands to sort images results not all images to be shown

[Faalagorn]

A follow up to https://github.com/eXeC64/imv/issues/146#issuecomment-760482770 – not sure if that is some limit/bug on my system, it seems that doing something like find . -type f | sort -V | imv sort files properly, but not all files are shown in my folder.

• imv * shows all 34676 files (just not sorted)
• find . -type f | sort -V | imv shows less files (it seems to be random, once it's 4895, then it's 5507 files) (properly sorted)

How many files does find . -type f | sort -V give you (you should be able to pipe it to wc -l to get the number of files)?

Word count counts it properly:

[faalagorn@faalagorn-pc ZomboidTiles]$ find . -type f | sort -V | wc -l
34676

However, piping it to imv does not. (currently getting 1632 items on that folder)

Are there some special files in the directory (links, ...)? I haven't managed to reproduce the bug.

If you pipe the files to disk and run imv using that file as input does the same problem occur? i.e. find . -type f | sort -V > images; cat images | wc -l; imv <images

This doesn't seem to change anything sadly @eXeC64

I don't think there are any symlinks there really, just a lot of files , some do have weird names though, not sure if that's the case. I'm using f2fs currently.

I don't think imv can read xcf images. If you cycle through all the images (using the arrow keys) when calling imv *, does the number of images drop?

EDIT: I've tried with a directory containing those images:

5.jpg
Sélection_002.xcf
\.xcf

And both find . -type f | sort -V | imv and imv * give me the same number of files

Actually, it does, it starts with 34677 images, then when I go back it's 34676 , then after two more 34675 and so on. It seems that it happens to images ending with _? Maybe it's something from my locale? I'm using en_DK.UTF-8

[faalagorn@faalagorn-pc ZomboidTiles]$ cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_DK.UTF-8
[faalagorn@faalagorn-pc ZomboidTiles]$ localectl
   System Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: pl
      X11 Layout: n/a

The number of images reduce because imv encounter xcf images which it can't read do it removes them from the list (and update the total number of images).
