Sixel is a way of converting images to terminal-friendly escape sequences. Can be used for previewing image files from inside far2l, etc.

in wx mode its possible to see images in graphical mode, just need to write plugin (or port picture view, but not sure if its easier than write new plugin)

And as for remote mode with tty backend own plug in could send bitmaps as escape sequencies to be shown with local wx-based outer far2l :)

Wow, people at Microsoft are working on sixel graphics support in their terminal https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/448

Same with GNOME terminal https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/253

this looks more interesting as allows full-quality graphics without extra hussle like in sixels
