~bptato/chawan#54: Sixel issue maybe?

Hello! first of all this project is GREAT! I love you for putting the time and work also for not doing it on a scripting language like python I currently use 100% TUI/CLI tools but the browser that I am stuck with qutebrowser, that is ok but ... python.. I am not sure why, but I am having issues loading sixel images on all pages I have tried.. I know as you mention this is not perfect but I am not that fancy, some sites with no rss options I use qutebrowse and will love to use this tool if I can get the images, things to note:

sixel works I have other programs like "lf" with it working also the matrix client "iamb" that uses sixel as well working on same terminal.
my terminal is "foot"
my OS is GNU/Linux
my distribution is Arch GNU/Linux
my window composer is hyprland here is my intend of a config lol

[display]
color-mode = "true-color"

[page]
'o' = 'cmd.pager.load'

[bufer]
images = true
#autofocus = true

[[siteconf]]
host = '(.*\.)?elpais\.com'
scripting = "app"
cookie = "save"
styling = true

[[siteconf]]
host = '(.*\.)?elmundo\.es'
scripting = "app"
cookie = "save"
styling = true

[[siteconf]]
host = '(.*\.)?odysee\.com'
scripting = "app"
cookie = "save"
styling = true


[[siteconf]]
host = '(.*\.)?sr\.ht'
cookie = "save"
share-cookie-jar = 'sr.ht'

any tip/help will be appreciated.

Happy Hacking ReK2

[bufer]

should be

[buffer]

(I haven't tested with foot, but I think it should work. LMK if it still doesn't after changing this.)

ohhhhh, good catch, sorry Spanish speaker so for me makes no difference bufer or buffer :D :D :D so easy to mistype :D :D

ok it works! yay. one thing on elpais.com most images show but not others I get the [img] anything I can do about that?

Glad to hear it works :)

one thing on elpais.com most images show but not others I get the [img] anything I can do about that?

That's because the site is using CSS background-image, which is not implemented yet. It still shows placeholders so that you can at least click on buttons that only consist of background-image.

(In fact, just displaying background-image wouldn't be that hard. The difficulty comes from having to place the image behind the text - right now, neither text nor image have a concept of Z ordering by the time they are drawn on the screen, and the renderer will need some work to allow this.

It also doesn't help that Kitty and Sixel have conflicting models of text mixed with images...)
