image rendering on alacritty #51

Closed azinsharaf closed 1 year ago

azinsharaf commented 1 year ago

Is it a known limitation in Alacritty terminal that can't render the images well?

I don't know anything about sixel and not sure if is usable on Windows. I installed timg in my python env and it broke it.

Hello,

Alacrity does not support terminal graphics (yet - https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/pull/4763).

I've struggled to get terminal graphics support working using Windows-native Python. I've not found anything which works perfectly yet.

You can try wezterm, but it has issues with graphics on Windows (see https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/1236, https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/2422).

Alternatively you could give mintty a try, which also supports sixels on Windows.

Let me know if you find a solution that works!

Thanks for the info. I tried it quickly in WSL (Ubuntu ) and got the same result. Are you saying it should work in Linux? I'll be testing it again later.

Yep, I've tested euporie using wsltty (which uses mintty) and terminal graphics work.
