I have a directory with many images (my photo album with 5000 jpg

If still is useful to read all the images in a directory before
showing an image, would it be possible to add an option to eog not to
read all these images?

Hi,

It sounds like you have the image collection feature on. Try disabling
it with View > Image Collection or launching eog with
--disable-image-collection

This feature was off during the test. I tried also with --disable-image-collection: it took 1 minute to show a jpg file the first time. The second/third time 2 seconds.

I executed the first time: strace eog misc/photos/album/11001.jpg, the output scrolls very fast, afterwards it prints:

poll(
--> [here it waits about 2 seconds]
([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN}], 8, 4997) = 0 stat("/home/dedu/.recently-used.xbel", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=367563, ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
poll(
--> [again it waits about 2 secs]
--> [the same as above for several times]

Hoping that this information is useful.
