Hi
I have written a lot of shell scripts but have always wanted to see an image or put in a photo in one of my scripts . Honestly I have not looked for any such utility or rpm or package that will allow me to do this , but I ma now going to search for one , If anyone knows of this kind of feature for bash shell . Kindly let me know.
Regards
Ryan Coelho.
Sometime on Feb 16, rc cobbled together some glyphs to say:

There was zgv, but it was dropped from all distros because of security issues.
Also, please set your email client to wrap long lines at about 72 characters. Long lines aren't nice.

Not sure about an image viewer, but perhaps something like links -g or mplayer could show you the image using DirectFB. mplayer can also use libcaca or even aalib, but I don't think that's really what you're looking for. That's of course for standalone image viewing. Haven't given a thought to the script part.

P.S. The USE flags for Gentoo suggest that there's gif, jpeg and png support in mplayer.

I've been using fbi without problems for some time now. Nice little program to view images from console provided you have framebuffer support.
I think there's also an app called dfbsee (directfb.org should have it) but that didn't work for me the first time I had tried.

ive been using 'fbi' for quite some time and its pretty good. it even converts unsupported formats if you have ImageMagik automatically. but requires framebuffer though.
one thing it lacks is a directory browser/image preview like zgv. perhaps someone can write a patch ? :=) ( the preview is available in the xfbi though but its quite ugly imo)
