# ctpv
Terminal previewer
![showcase](doc/showcase.gif)
----
ctpv is a terminal previewer utility that supports a variety of built-in previews
(including image previews with [Überzug](https://github.com/seebye/ueberzug)).
ctpv is a remake of awesome program named [stpv](https://github.com/Naheel-Azawy/stpv)
but it's written in C.
stpv worked perfectly for me, except it was kinda sluggish because
it was written in POSIX shell.
ctpv is an attempt to make a faster version stpv and add some new features.
Originally it was made for [lf](https://github.com/gokcehan/lf)
but I assume it should not be hard to integrate ctpv into other
programs (if they support external programs for providing previews like lf, of course).
## Installation
### Manual
```sh
git clone https://github.com/NikitaIvanovV/ctpv
cd ctpv
sudo make install
```
Uninstall with `sudo make uninstall`
## Integration
### lf file manager
Add these lines to your lf config
(usually located at `~/.config/lf/lfrc`):
```
set previewer ctpv
set cleaner ctpvclear
&ctpv -s $id
cmd on-quit $ctpv -e $id
```
