[ghost]

on my system it displays the first font fine, then after selecting the second it doesnt display anything. any chance to fix? thank you @sdushantha

[sdushantha]

@0rb677 Could you be so kind and send a screen recording of that is happening?

[ghost]

@sdushantha yes on arch works good. on fedora-25 seem error. maybe sxiv outdated? on fedora i use binary fzf and sxiv 24

asciinema play fontpreview.json

It seems sxiv doesn't reload the $FONT_PREVIEW file when it is overwritten.

@0rb677 @SmartFinn Could you guys try updating to the latest version of sxiv? I am currently running the latest version and dont have a problem:

$ sxiv -v
sxiv 26

[SmartFinn]

@sdushantha unfortunately, upgrade to sxiv 26 didn't solve the issue. Let's find a difference in system setup.

It's not SElinux (I disabled it). It's not an tmpfs issue because I tried to save tmp files to btrfs with env TMPDIR="$PWD" bash fontpreview but got the same message.

[sdushantha]

Well, I dont know what to say about my system... Here you have this in case that interests you:

$ uname -a
Linux unicorn 5.4.17-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Feb 4 11:40:50 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Is there something specific you want to know?

[SmartFinn]

@sdushantha could you upload /usr/bin/sxiv file here? I'll try to run on my system.

[sdushantha]

@SmartFinn https://0x0.st/i-i5.so

[SmartFinn]

@sdushantha Thanks. But no luck.

[kraem]

Also had this bug on sxiv ~2.6~ 26 but was fixed with fontpreview 1.0.2 version bump :)

[sdushantha]

@kraem Thank for letting us know about that! @SmartFinn Did version 1.0.2 fix the issue for you?

[SmartFinn]

There is no 1.0.2 version. I tested with sxiv 1.3.2 with the following results: sxiv doesn't crash, but the newly generated image doesn't load.

[sdushantha]

@SmartFinn Oh sorry, my bad. I meant the latest version of fontpreview :)

[SmartFinn]

@sdushantha kinda, sxiv shows the generated image but:

[sdushantha]

@SmartFinn

23 Would solve this problem, but I think it would take some time to make it

@sdushantha Hi. i just upgraded dom0 to fedora 31 (i use Qubes 4.1 hypervisor) Fedora 31 Dom0 fzf - 0.20.0 sxiv - 25 xdotool - 3.20190727.1 ImageMagick - 6.9.10-86

Fontpreview works better. Thank you! But if i press q from fzf

[0rb@dom0 ~]$ fontpreview
sxiv: no more files to display, aborting
Restart sxiv - You maybe using a obsolete version. 
/usr/bin/fontpreview: line 46: 65336 Killed                  sxiv -g "$SIZE$POSITION" "$FONT_PREVIEW" -N "fontpreview" -b

[sdushantha]

sxiv: no more files to display, aborting

Could you check if the image file still exists after getting that error message?

@0rb677

[sdushantha]

@0rb677 Could you try the latest version of sxiv? https://github.com/muennich/sxiv/releases/tag/v26

[ghost]

@sdushantha master branch, i also have ueberzug

[0rb@dom0 ~]$ sxiv -version
sxiv v26
[0rb@dom0 ~]$ fontpreview
sxiv: no more files to display, aborting
Restart sxiv - You maybe using a obsolete version. 
[0rb@dom0 ~]$ 

[sdushantha]

@0rb677

i also have ueberzug

That does not matter right now because fontpreview does not use it now.

Could you check if the image file still exists after you quit fontpreview?

[sdushantha]

It's been around 2 months and there is not activity. I will be closing this issue since I assume it might be fixed and for the sake of cleaning the open issues. I'll be more than happy to reopen this incase anyone encounters this issue again :)
