Feature Request: Images in terminal #752

Open EmiliaTheGoddess opened 1 year ago

cool-retro-term still doesn't have image support. I'd love to have image support for w3m. I think this is an essential feature.

I would love to see this as well, I use ranger / lf for file management and it is possible to display file previews as images using that software. Having this option in cool retro term would be fantastic

in the case that you are using wayland, there is a workaround that i use to get image previews working in cool-retro-term. you can use ueberzugpp (compiled from source with the -DENABLE_WAYLAND=ON flag, and then it is possible to have image previews using a floating window, here are a few examples of what i use it for:
