What is the correct artwork file type specifications ?

Terminal: local/alacritty 0.13.2-2

Tmux

Ex; image

This is really really ideal for a tiling window manager like spectrwm. Thanks !

So, kew uses a program called Chafa to display images. Chafa uses different techniques on different terminals to display the picture. I think that on Alacritty that's as good as they will look, no matter the file type.

Some terminals that support images fully: konsole, kitty, foot (wayland terminal), wezterm and a few others.

There should be no probs with terminals supported by Chafa.

Anyways; SpectrWM rocks!

Interesting. I use n3 with full image display and all that now. I was curious if there where some actual file specs as I did not see them on the main page. Alacritty is on the supported list.

Hey no prob.

Oh yeah the readme talks about terminals that support truecolor, but sixel support is more important. I updated the readme to reflect that.
