Bat preview not working

I'm trying to get the bat preview instead of cat for any text file. I changed the previewer file but the output is still the same.

# lf-ueberzug-previewer
-  *) cat "$file" ;;
+  *) bat "$file" ;;

please add support for fish shell

This is a great tool. It would be nice to have image previews and video previews working in fish shell though. Thank you.

Replacing ls output by exa

Not really an issue but I don't see a discussion tab.
Is it possible to replace ls output by exa ?

Current :

Desired:

No visual previews for Kitty

Only the preview of the texts appears. gifs, videos, pictures

ueberzug error

I guess something changed in ueberzug.
I get ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL'

paste: no delimiters specified

Hello, I am trying to run the lf-ueberzug gadget directly just to preview the demo files. The .txt displays, but the other four do not. After I quit I get
paste: no delimiters specified
cleanup:kill:2: kill 22096 failed: no such process

I'd imagine this is from the
cat <<-EOF | paste -sd '' >"$LF_UEBERZUG_TEMPDIR/fifo"
in lf-ueberzug-previewer, but I don't know why this would be getting no delimiters specified. I am using zsh, but I'm guessing it might just be an OS issue.

I also have no idea what is causing the second line that is returned, so any help there would be welcome as well, assuming it's independent of the first.

Remove Makefile from lf-yt

Installation via a Makefile is a huge overkill for copying a few files.

ueberzug is unmaintained

XDG compliance.

Could you make your scripts XDG compliant?

Not working!

Hi!
lf-ueberzug only work in the git directory.
When I put the files in /usr/bin, create the alias in .zshrc, the lf-ueberzug not using the lfrc file, and the previews not working.
What the solution for this?
Thanks!

Clean up lf-shellcd and lf-ueberzug

• lf-shellcd
• lf-ueberzug

Don't source lfrc

Gadgets should not source the default lfrc as this may introduce unstable behavior depending on the user's default configuration of lf.

It shows Loading... but not preview

Should I use zsh as my shell for this to work? I installed all the prerequisite packages (including zsh) but it is not working.

Refactor gadget to be usable without installation

As the gadgets serve as inspiration and as a blueprint for a customized implementation there's no use installing the individual gadgets. Instead, it would be much more comfortable if the gadgets could be tried out in-place. Let's see if this works.

Add support for libxel(image2sixel) for displaying images.

• As we all know ueberzug is not maintained any more.
• So can you please add support for libsixel(image2sixel) for displaying images.
• libsixel protocol is supported by so many terminal emulators like foot.
• img2sixel can be used with imagemagick for displaying images in lf.

Issue with lf-yt

jq: error (at <stdin>:15): Cannot iterate over null (null) jq: error (at <stdin>:15): Cannot iterate over null (null) jq: error (at <stdin>:15): Cannot iterate over null (null) curl: option -o: requires parameter curl: try 'curl --help' for more information
I keep on getting this error despite everything being there

lf-yt doesn't display thumbnail or show proper title

I have installed the prerequisites for lf-yt including ueberzug but I still am unable to get the thumbnail display to work. On the other hand the title of the video doesn't show properly as well.

Extend lf-scrollingpreview with pagination for PDF files.

PDF pagination is an interesting use case which can be implemented without introducing useless clutter, since the groundwork has already been done.

Rather extend the README to include a note on how to approach pagination.

Finish or abandon lf-filedialog

Apparently, lf has some sort of builtin file dialog capabilities. Check whether lf-filedialog servers a purpose.

[lf-yt] Replace youtube-dl with yt-dlp

Youtube-dl appears to be dead and is in the midst of its own resurrection. Switch to yt-dlp.
