Can't show images in tmux #138

Open eyalev opened 7 years ago

eyalev commented 7 years ago

When I'm in "regular" terminal I can run python injection-test.py from https://github.com/paradoxxxzero/butterfly-demos and see the image.

But when I'm attached to a tmux session the same command won't output the image.

Is this possible to show images in tmux? (Or maybe something is wrong with my configuration..)

Tmux uses the Alternate Screen Buffer and butterfly currently does not support variable line width in this mode. (There is no native scroll either.) I think this will be really hard to implement since tmux already act as a terminal managing scroll history etc...
