This worked directly in Konsole for me without "xterm -ti 340" and it renders a high res image, which surprised me: I have used low-res images in the terminal using block characters and 24-bit colors before, but never seen this high res
How does it do this?
One weird thing seems to be that it doesn't support zooming in/out the same way the regular text does.
- TomJansen 4y agoKonsole now supports many different image rendering protocols: sixel, iTerm2 and Kitty image protocols. See https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/merge_requests/594 https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/merge_requests/59...
