chafa VS mpv-image-viewer

Like some people here and under this post said, I like Kitty and would recommend it to anyone who uses/used Alacritty, as they are very similar in surface. I actually switch between Alacritty and Kitty pretty often, depending on my "mood". I recently went back to Kitty for image support (through chafa though, for better compatibility across terminal emulators). However, Wayland support is poor and I have some issues with fonts being too bold, although it could just be my config...

If you use a more modern terminal you can also use stuff like:

https://hpjansson.org/chafa/

There's also https://github.com/princejoogie/chafa.nvim, which wraps https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa Did you know about that? I wonder what the differences between your plugin and that one are?

Hello r/Python! I'm here to introduce you to a project I've been working on called chafa.py source. These are Python bindings for the amazing terminal image visualizer Chafa.

this is a plugin that wraps the functionality of chafa into neovim. chafa is a way to display images in the terminal by converting it into ANSI escape sequences.

I guess it is using https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa for that, and it needs to be using https://github.com/seebye/ueberzug/tree/2c55173878906c3b221cdef16cf083f0c412bb58

See also https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa which is an image -> ANSI art library written in C. I built it into my BBS so users can embed images in their posts. Some turn out better than others but it gives the board a unique feel at least.

How would I use MPV as an image viewer, I have tried this link, but it doesn't seem to work as soon as I open an image file, it plays for like 2 seconds that MPV "exits" the file, possibly I would have to toggle inf loop on all image files, but I don't know how I would do this

Mpv can do most of the things you want. I use it as image viewer and comic reader it's a very powerful and customizable software. The only issue I got with it as image viewer is that the scrolling is not smooth. Here's a GitHub page to start using mpv as image viewer : https://github.com/occivink/mpv-image-viewer

Try mpv https://github.com/occivink/mpv-image-viewer

https://github.com/occivink/mpv-image-viewer https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/7983

Copy https://git.sr.ht/~guidocella/mpv-image-config/tree/master/item/scripts/image-keybindings.lua#L60 or https://github.com/occivink/mpv-image-viewer/blob/master/scripts/image-positioning.lua to a script in the scripts directory within mpv's configuration directory, then use it by binding script-binding drag-to-pan.

For image viewing I either use eye-of-gnome or, since a few weeks, mpv with the following extensions: https://github.com/occivink/mpv-image-viewer

mpv with the gallery view plugin makes for a great video/image previewer
