timg now supports iTerm2 image protocol

[Henner Zeller]

Hi,

I recently heard about iTerm2 and its image protocol. Previously my terminal image and video viewer http://timg.sh/ just used either just regular Unicode block characters or the Kitty image protocol on a kitty terminal.

Well, and now it supports the iTerm2 image protocol as well :)

The timg viewer is a tool for inspecting images on the shell, e.g. showing them in a grid layout to quickly browse through a bunch of images (in particular useful when logged in remotely). Multi-threaded loading and scaling, exif rotation, transparency handling, video playing etc. make it a useful little tool.

And with the iTerm2 image protocol now also in hi-resolution :)

I don't have access to a Mac, so I don't actually know if it works on an iTerm2 - but I tested it with the wezterm (that also implements the iTerm2 image protocol) with which I can view images and play animations and videos smoothly. Timg should auto-detect if it runs in an iTerm2, so if you run it in the terminal with images it should show them in high-resolution. Would be good to hear from iTerm2 users if it actually works.

It works! It’s really cool to see a video playing. Great work :)
