I haven't tried that, but there is unfortunately a bigger problem with it in that if there are breaks in a sequence this cmd won't show them. For example if there is a range of files like this:
filename.1.ext
filename.2.ext
filename.3.ext
filename.4.ext
filename.6.ext
filename.7.ext
filename.8.ext
then the result is still
filename.1-8.ext
which is not useful. It would need to read out as such:
filename.1-4.ext
filename.6-8.ext

Regarding getting it to a form where I can link a shortened cmd to is, someone else suggested this:
"The simplest thing to do is toss that one-liner into an executable file, and modify your alias to pipe the output of ls into that. The next simplest thing to do is switch to bash (assuming you're not using it already), and put it into a function. Otherwise, put a ' (single quote) at the start, and every time you get to a single quote, end the previous quote, wrap the single quote in double quotes, and then start with another single quote:
'ls | perl -F"\\." -nae '"'"'if...
You might consider replacing the internal double quotes with qq(), too."

Is there a good way of showing around 4 pictures (fairly large thumbnails) at once on the command line, preferably tiled so that all of them are viewable. I tried using display but I'm not sure how to tile them. I'd also prefer if it was read only so that they cannot be altered in the viewer.

zzip_open_shared_io
ZZIP_OPEN(3) zziplib Function List ZZIP_OPEN(3)
NAME
zzip_open, zzip_open_ext_io, zzip_open_shared_io - ...
SYNOPSIS
#include <zzip/lib.h>
ZZIP_FILE * zzip_open((zzip_char_t * filename, int o_flags));
ZZIP_FILE * zzip_open_ext_io((zzip_char_t * filename, int o_flags, int o_modes, zzip_strings_t * ext,
zzip_plugin_io_t io));
ZZIP_FILE * zzip_open_shared_io((ZZIP_FILE * stream, zzip_char_t * filename, int o_flags,
int o_modes, zzip_strings_t * ext, zzip_plugin_io_t io));
DESCRIPTION
The zzip_open_ext_io function uses explicit ext and io instead of the internal defaults, setting them to zero is equivalent to zzip_open
note that the two flag types have been split into an o_flags (for fcntl-like openflags) and o_modes where the latter shall carry the
zzip_flags and possibly accessmodes for unix filesystems. Since this version of zziplib can not write zipfiles, it is not yet used for
anything else than zzip-specific modeflags.
The zzip_open_ext_io function returns a new zzip-handle (use zzip_close to return it). On error the zzip_open_ext_io function will return
null setting errno(3).
The zzip_open_shared_io function takes an extra stream argument - if a handle has been then ext/io can be left null and the new stream
handle will pick up the ext/io. This should be used only in specific environment however since zzip_file_real does not store any
ext-sequence.
The benefit for the zzip_open_shared_io function comes in when the old file handle was openened from a file within a zip archive. When the
new file is in the same zip archive then the internal zzip_dir structures will be shared. It is even quicker, as no check needs to be done
anymore trying to guess the zip archive place in the filesystem, here we just check whether the zip archive's filepath is a prefix part of
the filename to be opened.
Note that the zzip_open_shared_io function is also used by zzip_freopen that will unshare the old handle, thereby possibly closing the
handle.
The zzip_open_shared_io function returns a new zzip-handle (use zzip_close to return it). On error the zzip_open_shared_io function will
return null setting errno(3).
