Okay it seems implemented. But I got a crazy issue that display a blank screen while I am in my HOME directory.

That's really strange indeed. Can you capture the output of using strace when doing this in your home directory and in a subdirectory? I can't think of what would differ between those two cases.

Mhh I cant reproduce anymore :S The command now works from my home again. Maybe just something was wrong with my system

Ah, odd. Sounds more like some kind of race condition then. Perhaps if imv loads the image faster the curl provides it, imv handles waiting on stdin poorly?

Thanks for the update though. I'll close this for now since it's not reproducible.

This issue happens if there's a file called "-" in the current directory. imv opens that file instead of reading stdin.

I think imv should always read from stdin when passing - as the file argument, and only try to read the literal "-" file when passing an explicit path like ./-. This is how most tools that take - as a shorthand for stdin/stdout work.

@~exec64 can we document in the manpage that if you pass - as filepath it reads from stdin? That was not clear at all
