[enhancement] ueberzug instead of w3m-img for image previews about fff HOT 8 CLOSED

Same exact error with your fork ;/, normal-full screen with st

from fff.

I don't suppose this is something that you might consider?

ueberzug is superior to w3m-img

Also, just FYI, you can update your "Distros" to include NetBSD. Install with pkgin install fff

Hi, Does seeing image previews work for you? i installed the dependencies (gentoo) in sowm and i can't see anything, i get an error "your window manager says it doesn't support net_active_ window blah blah

Hey, yeah it works using w3m-img and I've even forked another fork of fff which uses ueberzug so you can always try that.

I dont know about that error though, it should work with sowm as that is dylans creation too. Perhaps if the window is too small for te image? try in a fullscreen terminal?
Perhaps try another window manager to see whether it's an fff problem or an sowm problem.

yes, it's strange that it doesn't work, can you share your fork to test?

Hmm it must be a sowm issue then. Have you tried with another wm? I dont use sowm so I cant really help sorry.

from fff.

yeah, the problem* is sowm, dwm work just fine.

It's not a sowm issue. w3m-img and ueberzug work via hacks to begin with. See dylanaraps/neofetch#1392
