How do I open multiple images at a time with feh?

Operating Systems & Open Source Linux

I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 and was looking into an alternate clutter free and quick image viewer, and came across feh. I installed feh and it works perfectly fine within terminal, but I'm having issues with using it as a default image viewer.

Through editing feh.desktop with gedit and setting certain parameters that I wanted while viewing an image, I managed to get it to open a single file, but not to have it allow me to view multiple files at once without selecting all of them at once.

It's currently set up to exec as followed.

feh --auto-zoom --geometry 690x1000 %f -Z %F

This sets everything I want up but the ability to scroll through multiple images without selecting them. I've also tried using the . to view all in directory and the -r to view all subdirectories, to no avail.

Anyone have any advice?

If you want them all open in the same window:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Feh#File_Browser_Image_Launcher
This page has a script feh_browser.sh that opens all the images in a directory into a kind-of slideshow where you can arrow through them. It might suit your needs.
