I prefer to keep feh off my systems; its description is a lie.

feh - image viewer and cataloguer

It's an editor that has no concept of a buffer, but just scribbles
over the original file. And, IIRC, the error message, when thwarted
by a read-only file, is incorrect: it blames the permissions of
the directory, not the file.
