The vid is made for REAL MEN. That's not you.
Second, why do you use a terminal to launch GUI applications? I know,
it's because you are unable to configure your menu. It shows because it
takes you forever to find your applications in it. You should learn how
to configure it.
Wrong again.
Executing a program from a terminal that is parked at a certain
directory allows the program, in this case an image viewer, to
immediately load all the files in that directory.
If the program were invoked via a menu, it would be parked at
the home or some other directory. Thus, one would have to navigate
to the desired directory that contains the images and this
would be very, very slow.
Again you show yourself to be an idiot.

I never launch a GUI program from a terminal because it's inefficient.
When you do it, you show me how I'm right about it.
Launching a GUI program from a terminal is very beneficial because
diagnostic and other messages are printed to the console. Thus
one can easily see if there are any problems with the software or its
environment.
Of course, this applies only to GNU/Linux gurus, like me, who actually
build their own systems.
But YOU are a distro lackey and have everything built for you by other
people. Therefore you have no need for diagnostic messages.
