- laumars 8y agopyg doesn’t say anything you hadn’t and he had the replies saying the same comments that I made. So I’m not really sure what you’re trying to argue about ls being inconsistent aside it hiding files that are widely recognised as hidden by other tools systemwide anyway. Perhaps the GUI file managers are also inconsistent because they hide hidden files by default too?

- alanbernstein 8y agoI dunno. It seems to me this tool does the right thing, which is to avoid adding minutes to the task of printing a directory listing, which we expect to be instantaneous for local use. But the point I was trying to make is that if, for whatever reason, you prefer waiting two minutes for image previews of PDFs, you can always just `alias lsix="lsix -whatever"`. Now that I think about it, pdf isn't an image type, so I'm not sure if I would expect a tool like this to handle that anyway.
- laumars 8y agoPDFs have historically been used for print so I can see the rational behind handling them as images; however I can’t see many publishers using this tool.
