allow list of images (not paths) to be specified as command arguments about geeqie HOT 3 OPEN

Your command (or maybe with geeqie --list) will open the files as an unnamed Collection - if Geeqie is not already running.

The user interface for Collections is not optimal. Right-click on a thumbnail in the Collection window and select View. The main window image pane will then cycle through the contents of the Collection, and not the contents of the files pane.

The possibility for Collections to be displayed as a pseudo-directory is on the to-do list - but has been for a long time.

There appears to be bugs in the command line handling of --list-add, amongst other things.

Yeah, but that then opens in a new window, which I guess cannot be docked, so I see then both the collection window with the thumbnails and the current directory section (with thumbnails) of the main window.

Is there already a ticket for this? If so, we could close this one as a duplicate of that.

[The formatting of the email has gone badly wrong - but there is a link to an AppImage that is a demonstration of my idea for this]

Until now there has been no interest in this (apart from me).
