Hi guys,
I happened to notice another tiny issue.
Images work very well in aerc (without a [filter]).
Yet, in some cases the image format is incorrect so that aerc doesn't render the image at all.
One case in my inbox is an inlined image sent with Outlook:
Outlook-n4ak43wl (image/jpg)
Another case is an unsuspicious JPEG, which is shown as
20240614_111111.jpg (image/*)
The interesting thing is that when I download the images and
file --mime-type IMAGE
the result is correct in both cases:
image/jpeg
(I hope this issue has not been mentioned. )
Thanks for all your work!
Unfortunately, there isn't anything aerc can do to "guess" what is the correct mime type.
The only solution would be to add explicit filter rules with certain (invalid) mime types to force the builtin terminal image view. For example:
[filters] .filename,~.*\.jpg = __TERM_GRAPHICS__(image/jpeg) image/jpg = __TERM_GRAPHICS__(image/jpeg)
To clarify, aerc does not implement this
__TERM_GRAPHICS__special filter value yet. I am simply throwing ideas.
Thank you. This would be a good solution, if such a fallback is not to be included into the msgviewer, because it's easily extendable.
