That script is exactly what I was hoping for,<br>
but sadly, it didn't work for me. What did I do wrong?<br>
<br>
When I put 7 small images in a folder to try that script,<br>
I got the result shown below:<br>
<br>
$ for filename in "$(ls -lt)" ; do display "$filename" ; done<br>
display: no decode delegate for this image format `15 z3.jpg<br>
