A solution for opening a file and the other files residing in the same directory, while maintaining position. For VLC playlist(video, audio) and imv(image)

find_files.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Gets a filename and a file type, returns the files with the same type in the same directory
function find_files_by_type {
    directory=$(dirname -- "$1")
    items=$(fd . "$directory" --exact-depth 1 -t f -x file --mime-type '{}' | rg "$2" | perl -ne 's/:\s+.*$//; print' | sort -V)
    echo "$items"
}

imv.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

source "${0%/*}"/find_files.sh

IFS=$'\n'

images=$(find_files_by_type "$1" 'image')

index=$(echo "$images" | rg -n "$1" | cut -d : -f 1)
imv -n $index $images

vlc.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

source "${0%/*}"/find_files.sh

IFS=$'\n'

items=$(find_files_by_type "$1" 'video|audio')

index=$(($(echo "$items" | rg -n "$1" | cut -d : -f 1) - 1))

items_array=($items)
sorted_items=(${items_array[@]:$index:$((${#items_array[@]} - $index))})
sorted_items+=(${items_array[@]:0:$index})

vlc ${sorted_items[@]}
