Add Image support using imgcat #4654

Closed AM-I-Human closed 3 months ago

AM-I-Human commented 3 months ago

I know that is on roadmap and I think I can help by suggesting this. I found this Python package that enable you to see images on the terminal. It supports Wezterm, so with it you have full resolution images. https://pypi.org/project/imgcat/

Considering that is python it's possible to take inspiration from it to make it. This can enable a full markdown previewer for the terminal, I think the neovim community will love this.

This uses Kitty's Terminal graphics protocol, which isn't supported by most terminal emulators...

AM-I-Human commented 3 months ago

I understand we must consider that only terminal emulators with rendering capabilities can render images well. (I found this discussion for windows terminal; I didn't grasp it fully but place here for reference https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/5746) I found this repo that seems better https://github.com/AnonymouX47/term-image That support other images terminal using block mode: https://github.com/AnonymouX47/termvisage

I found this #384, on rich. I think it is better if I close this then.

No, imgcat uses the iTerm2 Inline Images Protocol, which is supported by many terminals, including VS Code now.
