Preview images in ranger don't show up after "loading..." and sometimes show up as "binary".
Terminal: st 0.8.2
Ranger: ranger-git 1.9.3
ueberzug: python-ueberzug-git 18.1.5
rc.conf:
set preview_images true
set preview_images_method ueberzug
I'm pretty new to arch so I'm pretty confused. Read around and installed all of ueberzug's dependencies then eventually just installed the aur git version but images still don't show up.
Help a zoomer out!
Does st support images at all (by default)?
You see st is what you made of it, patches, configurations most of the users have different configs and builds.
Hi, thanks for responding.
I am able to display images on st with the help of ueberzug using the example script on the github page. However, when used with ranger the previews don't show.
I've followed the steps in changing ranger's rcconfig file to use ueberzug and made sure that they were of compatible versions. As seen in my root post above.
I'm really stumped as to why this is. Thanks for your patience
Image preview in ranger is pretty buggy and relies on weird behavior. I don't think it's expected to work on all terminals.
install feh
sudo pacman -S feh
well, pacman says that w3m is the right thisng to install:
