ctpv

Terminal previewer

ctpv is an utility for previewing various files (including images with Überzug).

ctpv is a remake of an awesome program named stpv 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 of stpv and add some new features.

Originally it was made for lf file manager but I believe that it can be easily integrated into other programs as well if they support previews provided by external programs like lf does.

Installation

Manual

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
