I like how it supports animated webp and gif files right out of the box. Would be perfect if you could open images from the file manager and navigate, but it doesn’t look like that’s in the works.

I have a custom nuke opener file for nnn that do that's that. Every time I open an image, it uses swayimg -r (recursively).
I gues you can do some like that with xdg-open

I navigated to my screenshot folder in terminal and opened an image using swayimg -r but it wouldn’t let me navigate with n or p. I also tried going to my Pictures folder and used swayimg Screenshots/* like this thread suggested, but still no luck.

Ahh ok ok, I misunderstood it, I can move forward with space, but not backwards....sorry!!

Thanks for confirming that you’re seeing the same thing. Must be a bug.
