[enhancement] ueberzug instead of w3m-img for image previews #175

Closed pfr-dev closed 2 years ago

pfr-dev commented 3 years ago

I don't suppose this is something that you might consider?

ueberzug is superior to w3m-img

Also, just FYI, you can update your "Distros" to include NetBSD. Install with pkgin install fff

Hey, yeah it works using w3m-img and I've even forked another fork of fff which uses ueberzug so you can always try that.

I dont know about that error though, it should work with sowm as that is dylans creation too. Perhaps if the window is too small for te image? try in a fullscreen terminal? Perhaps try another window manager to see whether it's an fff problem or an sowm problem.

Lunatic1985 commented 2 years ago

yes, it's strange that it doesn't work, can you share your fork to test? :)

Lunatic1985 commented 2 years ago

yeah same error with fullscreen (st and xterm), ok i found your fork...

Lunatic1985 commented 2 years ago

Same exact error with your fork ;/, normal-full screen with st

Hmm it must be a sowm issue then. Have you tried with another wm? I dont use sowm so I cant really help sorry.

Lunatic1985 commented 2 years ago

yeah, the problem* is sowm, dwm work just fine.

dylanaraps commented 2 years ago

It's not a sowm issue. w3m-img and ueberzug work via hacks to begin with. See https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/issues/1392
