Image preview loads slow compared to ranger #45

Hi. I like cfiles. Thx. Generally the image preview is better then in ranger because it works nice with tmux. The images are always on the right place and do not disappear when changing panes. However, the images load notably slower in cfiles than in ranger. Since cfiles goal is to be fast I think this is something that should be fixed. Also it bothers me when I scroll through many images.

I presume it's because you are using the ueberzug backend for image previews? If that's the case, then nothing can be done as ueberzug is slower when compared to w3mimg which is what ranger uses. You can try using the w3m backend with cfiles but it doesn't works nicely for me atleast
