vifm preview images
To preview images in vifm using the C language, you can utilize the libvifm library. This library provides functions and utilities to interact with vifm, including image preview capabilities.
First, make sure that you have vifm and libvifm installed on your system. You can check their documentation for installation instructions.
Once you have the necessary dependencies, you can start by including the appropriate header files in your C program:
#include <vifm/vifm.h>
#include <vifm/util.h>
Next, you can create a vifm instance and initialize it:
Vifm* vifm = vifm_create();
vifm_init(vifm);
To enable image previews, you need to set the preview_images
option to true
:
vifm_set_option(vifm, "preview_images", "true");
You can then load the images into vifm using the vifm_add_file
function:
const char* image_path = "/path/to/image.jpg";
vifm_add_file(vifm, image_path);
Finally, you can display the image preview using the vifm_run
function:
vifm_run(vifm);
Remember to clean up the resources when you're done:
vifm_destroy(vifm);
This is a basic example of how you can preview images in vifm using the C language and the libvifm library. You can explore more functionality and customization options available in the library documentation.
