 ## TODO
 1. [x] Create user-customizable variable to hold default arguments
-2. Start sxiv on the file at point (using `-n ...`)
+2. [x] Start sxiv on the file at point (using `-n ...`)
 3. [x] Let user specify paths to be excluded.
-4. Mark files in subdirectories if run recursively (by inserting the subdirectory into the current buffer)
-5. Let user edit options (ideally with transient.el) when called with null argument/two prefix arguments
-6. When running with a lot of files, sxiv may take some time to start. Signal to the user that it is starting, and let them kill it if they want.

+6. [ ] When running with a lot of files, sxiv may take some time to start. Signal to the user that it is starting, and let them kill it if they want.
 7. What should be the behavior when we open Dired-marked files, then mark files within sxiv?
