I am trying to run --exec command in Scrot to open an image in an APP from command line. But it is not opening the desired image, instead it is listing the contents of the directory or displaying all the images of the directory.

scrot --exec APP filename

here, APP means any image editor

scrot --exec gthumb abc.jpg

I am running this command but it's not working

Please post the entire command. Do so by editing your post. – DK Bose Jan 31 '17 at 12:41

Try scrot -e 'gthumb abc.jpg' – DK Bose Jan 31 '17 at 13:10
My suggestion is based on scrot '%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h.png' -e 'mv $f ~/shots/' from scrot's man page. – DK Bose Jan 31 '17 at 13:15
