lsix

Show thumbnails in terminal using sixel graphics

Description

Like "ls", but for images.

Features include:

- Detects if your terminal can display SIXEL graphics inline.

- Works great over SSH.

- Non-bitmap graphics often work fine (.svg, .eps, .pdf, .xcf).

- Automatically detects if your terminal, like xterm, can increase the number

of color registers to improve the image quality and does so.

- Automatically detects terminal's foreground and background colors.

- In terminals that support `dtterm WindowOps`, the number of tiles per

row will adjust appropriately to the window width.

- If there are many images in a directory (>21), lsix will display them one

row at a time, no need to wait for the entire montage to be created.

- Filenames that are too long will be wrapped before passing into

ImageMagick's montage to avoid jumbling on top of one another.

- Easily change things like width of each tile in the montage, font family,

and point size by editing simple variables at the top of the file.

(Tip: try convert -list font to see what fonts you have on your machine.)

- Unicode filenames work fine, as long as your font has the glyphs.
