[Question] Recent KDE Konsole code and terminal image viewer - progress and change? #116

Closed rubyFeedback closed 2 years ago

rubyFeedback commented 2 years ago

Hey there,

KDE konsole has changed a lot over the years. I'd love to view images in KDE konsole, perhaps even animated .gif files. \o/

I have a more serious use case, though. I have a commandline application that asks an exam question; then I want to show an image. I can do this via the web in rails, but I also want a commandline variant. But I don't know how feasible that is.

Would Terminal image viewer fit that bill? Or has kde konsole itself gained that ability already? I read something on kde reddit but who knows what is true there. Any docu on the main README here would be super useful.

For such an application, you would need something precise, so why would you want to display it in a terminal emulator? Just execute the path and it'll open in the default program.
