viu VS lf

I've been using viu, which is also written in Rust: https://github.com/atanunq/viu

How does imgcatr compare?

Viu was last updated 5 months ago, imgcatr 3 months ago, not a significant difference. imgcatr is a longer name than viu, requiring more keystrokes to type.

Terminal image viewer with native support for iTerm and Kitty

in another terminal i sourced and installed a terminal image viewer. this was before i knew the image was gone. anyways, the one i picked is called "viu" (github).

Lastly, yeah, i discovered after that some tools already does this, like viu, i just did not search with the right keyword when i was looking for one. By looking at the simplicity of the tool it was kinda obvious i was not the first person coming with this idea anyway.

Viu works in Alacritty on Plasma Wayland for me.

fzf-lua with ueberzug or viu

I've tried using LF in the past, but it didn't stick. Will definitely give this a go, as I'm trying to move to an pure terminal workflow as closely as possible.

Hi. fff, lf, clifm Won't say they're best or not, rather interesting and maybe worth looking at. Looked up for the z in termux's repos and it's called "zoxide" there.

in the Github page for lf under etc, you can find instruction for making such a function for bash and fish.

I recently discovered an amazing terminal file manager (lf). The package is available for most mainstream distros but not for openSUSE.

For me, the main program missing is "lf" the ranger inspired terminal file manager. 5000 stars on Github, packaged in the official repos for basically anything under the sun except Fedora and a key part in my day-to-day workflow. https://github.com/gokcehan/lf
