This script is used alongvifm to generate image previews for various file types in vifm.

If you want image preview support forlf check outcirala/lfimg.

The script is currently able to handle the following formats:

• Video
• Pdf
• Djvu
• eBook
• Images
• Audio files
• Fonts

All previews are cached (except for regular images) and stored in your~/.cache/vifm/ folder.

1. Copy thevifmimg andvifmrun scripts to a folder that is included in your $PATHvariable for easy access to the files.

2. Edit your~/.config/vifm/vifmrc file and add fileviewer properties like so:

    fileviewer *.pdf        \ vifmimg pdf %px %py %pw %ph %c        \ %pc        \ vifmimg clear    fileviewer *.djvu        \ vifmimg djvu %px %py %pw %ph %c        \ %pc        \ vifmimg clear    fileviewer *.epub        \ vifmimg epub %px %py %pw %ph %c        \ %pc        \ vifmimg clear    fileviewer <video/*>        \ vifmimg video %px %py %pw %ph %c        \ %pc        \ vifmimg clear    fileviewer <image/*>        \ vifmimg draw %px %py %pw %ph %c        \ %pc        \ vifmimg clear    fileviewer <audio/*>        \ vifmimg audio %px %py %pw %ph %c        \ %pc        \ vifmimg clear    fileviewer <font/*>        \ vifmimg font %px %py %pw %ph %c        \ %pc        \ vifmimg clear

3. In order to launch vifm with image preview support from now on, you will need to use the suppliedvifmrun script.

I recommend that you make an alias in your shell that points to vifm.
