I use `feh` for such purposes. You can assign "actions" to the numbers
(0, 1, 2, 3 ..) so that when you view images you can hit a number and
run an action with the filename. Critically, it does not list the
actions anywhere so you might want to use a notepad.

This looks very promising.  Hopefully I can add a "do nothing" case, too.
I'll read up on it.

The do-nothing case is just feh's standard "go to next image" action
(spacebar or right arrow are the defaults for "go to next image").
