Images do not properly scale vertically #67

Whenever I specify the -H flag scale with the height of my image. The complete image does not get shown. Like so: 2022-02-27-161936_514x596_scrot

This is more apparent when displaying gifs. Even with the -H flag, when displaying gifs since the gif is not scaled correctly, a jarring artifact can be noticed.

Other information: An alternative to catimg, chafa properly resolves this issue and scales according with user prompts. For a workaround and temporary solution, users can use chafa.

I realized the reason the scaling seems to be not working is because my prompt gets displayed immediately after, pushing the image/gif displayed up.

This is indeed expected behavior. You can still specify a specific value for -H to match your custom height.
