Future Support for Viewing Images from URLs or Patch to Add the Feature? #431

Will there be support for viewing images from URLs like in feh?

And, since this is a very suckless-like piece of software, I would have looked up a patch but there aren't any (at least on my searches). It's the only feature I would like to have but is missing.

I've made patches here[1] for that, if you're still interested. Should work out of the box with images and gifs.

This can be done with a script instead, see: https://github.com/nsxiv/nsxiv/wiki/nsxiv-url

This is also implemented in my fork out of the box, no need for a wrapper script (just type sxiv https://url-to-image.png). If you are interested you can check out it here (or in the aur if you are using a arch based distro)
