Non-blocking image load #20

Closed AckslD closed 3 years ago

AckslD commented 3 years ago

When going over multiple images which takes some time to load I loose control over vifm until the all images are loaded. For example if each image would take one second to load and I press j 10 times in a directory with images I have to wait 10 seconds before I gain control again. This does not happen in for example fzfimg. Any idea how one could handle the loading of images without blocking input to vifm?

It is not vifmimg problem. vifm does not using separate threads for previewing. See this thread.

Some work is done and you can compare the stable version and -git version (vifm-git for Arch-base distributions). But the work is still underway.

I see, thanks a lot for the information @PRESFIL! :)
