Image view in xterm/urxvt (zebra)

I pushed this fairly far (still missing some features) and it's getting interesting. It uses w3m-img to display images in supported terminals (urxvt & xterm, does not work with lxterminal), similar to ranger.

Config, perhaps you will need to adjust variables named

FONTH=14 # 14 Size of one terminal row
FONTW=8  # 8 Size of one terminal column

also slideshow time in seconds

slidetime="1"

Usage

zebra --help
zebra *.png
zebra -q some.png # show and quit

more.

Not sure what direction you are wanting to go with this but are you aware of ueberzug as an alternative to w3mimgdisplay. Perhaps it offers you more...

@beaker, I wasn't (or I forgot about it), thanks for sharing. p.s. Direction is basic, fastest possible image viewer, wallpaper setter.

edit, quick Überzug test:
- Überzug is extremly interesting, but for now over my head.
- fzfimg.sh is what i tested briefly and making '[scaler]=contain' in line 110 makes is even better. (It doesn't seem to clean the window on exit, or i'am missing something)
- Images with alpha are not supported (or i don't know how to display them correctly)

I don't know what you guys are discussing, I'm just here for the cute doggo pics.
