Hey DT I'm trying to get Uberzug working in Vifm and it's still showing me all that metadata when I try to preview image files.
I know Uberzug is working though because I can run the ub.sh script and it'll show the image.
I copied your vifmrc, vifmimg, and vifmrun straight from your gitlab. I've tried running
./vifmrun in Alacritty, Kitty, and deepin terminals but still haven't had any luck.
Is there something that I'm missing? Maybe something I need in my .zshrc file? If anyone could offer some insight I'd greatly appreciate it!

My install of Neon with Plasma 5.15.2 is idling at 630 MB. That is good enough for me. I am certain my next desktop computer will have more RAM and faster RAM. As I type this in Firefox 65, it is only using 1.30 GB. And while I am typing this, my Intel i5-3470 is barely awake with all four cores churning at around 2 %. I am only suggesting that distros like Kubuntu have a bright future at least through 2020. That all being said, I am looking forward to someday installing Fuchsia OS, on this computer.

I had to change the -vifmimg gifpreview- to -vifmimg draw- because whenever I'd scroll over a gif, all of my inputs would stop and i'd have to sit there while the entire gif slowly plays out until it ended, and all of the things I pressed finally registered. If anyone knows a fix, that's be great. Otherwise, just getting a pic for a gif preview is fine with me.

I was trying to add the modifications to get image previews, then use the script to start vifm but as soon as the cursor reach any image to get the preview vifm hangs. Do you have any idea of what can be wrong? I have installed ueberzug using pip

DistroTube, how did you install the uberzug library on your Arch system. I can't seem to get pip3 command installed as I was following the installation instructions? Thanks.

Thanks for the work! May be it has sense to mention that one needs to install Imlib library (apt-get install libimlib2 libimlib2-dev, Ubuntu 18.04). It can save time ;)

-DistriTube thanks a lot for the video. Is there any shortcut needed to press to activate the image preview? Can't find any info about it

did anyone figure out how to make it run with .gif files. I realize that his script includes gifpreview but that breaks what i have.

I wonder is it possible to use Ueberzug to create a mini-map plugin for vim, by displaying a super zoomed out view of the current buffer.

If you're an idiot like me and it's your first time using vifm, don't forget to run :view inside vifm to actually show previews.
