[request] Display Thumbnail #521

Open Commandcracker opened 2 years ago

Commandcracker commented 2 years ago

It would be nice to display thumbnails with something like w3mimgdisplay or something else image

I think it is not possible to display an image in terminal. We can use ascii image to show but that will not look clear and precise.

@brijsiyag It is possible to display an image in terminal with something like w3mimgdisplay, programs like ranger already implemented it.

brijsiyag commented 2 years ago

Thank you for sharing this information @Commandcracker , but do all type of terminals support this ?

Commandcracker commented 2 years ago

Not every terminal supports it but the most popular ones have it.

Small list of supported terminals: Linux: xterm Mac: iTerm2 Windows: kitty with WSL2 (here is a guide to install it) and Windows Terminal is working on it.

Displaying the image in terminal based applications is against their phylosophy. Let's keep it simple @Commandcracker

How about using the visualization popup for this? Just add a visualization plugin that displays the thumbnail/album art.
