Some issues with Sixel support.
Related to #76 (closed).
The author of yazi (not me) is attempting to display sixel graphics in xfce4-terminal and bumping into some issues. Maybe someone here could assist/advise?
yazi is a CLI file manager with graphical previews of files including pdf, images, videos, etc.
The issues, discussed here, are:
-
Sixel setting is not visible in xfce4-terminal 1.1.0, xfce4 1.18, as built by yazi author.
-
Yazi is unable to uniquely identify xfce4-terminal/version from environment in order to turn on sixel mode within yazi.
-
I was able to get xfce4-terminal running with sixel support on ubuntu 22.04 and I hacked yazi to make it work, but images do not get erased properly, and thus each new image overlaps older ones. This works correctly in other sixel supporting terminals, which makes me wonder if xfce4-terminal has a bug.
