Space between image and info in latest iTerm2 versions

[njenan]

Description

In the latest iterm2 versions (v3.4.0+) there is a large amount of space between the image and the info. See screenshots for example. This is not an issue in iterm2 v3.3.12, which displays a smaller gap between the image and the info. The same neofetch configuration was used for both examples below.

Neofetch version

Running on OS X Catalina 10.15.7

Same problem

iTerm2 Version: Build 3.4.3 Neofetch 7.1.0

same problem

[o-y]

in lieu of any traction on this bug; there is a workaround that can be achieved by toggling some flags in the iTerm settings.

• Navigate to Preferences > Advanced
• Search for: Disable potentially insecure escape sequences and set to false
• Search for: Show inline images at retina resolution and set to false

Screenshots are really pretty but verbose logs (like in the first post) would be great.

Neofetch is functioning identically (finding same terminal size) in both iterm2 versions.

I believe neofetch needs to return the retina resolution for screen size on macOS (we need to detect when retina is used too(?)). But, this may break prior iterm2 versions (where this same code has worked fine for years).

Maybe look at iterm2 and what changed between versions to cause the breakage over here. Maybe also look at their image documentation to see if we're doing anything wrong (possibly also how to handle retina on the application side).

Got the same problem Maybe my logs can be useful https://gist.github.com/Kagameow/206383a556cb6528c2b034fa9a5a1066

This Worked for me!

This problem still exists after setting up async:

So I have encountered the same issue with the following versions of software below. Setting the 'show inline images at retina resolutions to NO seems to resolve the problem. However, maybe this is a workaround at best and the issue needs further addressing? I'm including my verbose logs to hopefully help with this.

MacOS: 12.1 | iTerm2: 3.4.14 | Neofetch: 7.1.0

The display issue still shows up when the commands are used in an async fashion

Here's my config without async stuff:

Please let me know if I'm missing something, thank you.

Same problem

iTerm2 Version: Build 3.4.3 Neofetch 7.1.0

I replaced neofetch to fastfetch and problem solved.

[plsnotracking]

@sephymartin I don't think this issue has been addressed, I switched to fastfetch (I see you switched to that too). Although I'm interested in the AppleSilicon logo, is this something you picked up from the Apple website or do you have the ascii art? Thanks.

I got this pic from Apple website. link. And this is my fastfetch config

--logo-type "iterm"
--logo "path/to/the/pic/on/your/mac" 
--logo-width "55" 
--logo-height "25"

I was fiddling with the advanced settings in iTerm2 and I found that there is one particular setting, Show inline images at Retina resolution, which seems to affect how images scales. See the following comparisons:

Show inline images at Retina resolution: Yes (Default)

Show inline images at Retina resolution: No
