How can I open an image from the command line

I recently had a hard drive failure and am in the process of rebuilding/renaming all my images.

(No matter how good disk recovery software says it it, they generally restore images usng a serial number instead of a name and no directory structure ..,. not optimal.)

I wrote a script that renames and dates files based on the exif information. 47,000 files completed.

What I want to do is is open random files, from the command line, with photoshop to take a quick look.

I created an alias for Photoshop to acheive this goal and, while photoshop opens, it doesn't see the file.

According to various users, this used to work.

When I looked through the ACPL logs it didn't appear my image had been been passed to Photoshop.

I'm using Photoshop 2020. What is the correct way of opening files from the command line now?
