terminal image view script

[se7en]

I found this script to view images without X

It needs imagemagik and python-imaging installed.
You might also have to adjust the #!/ to the version of python you are using.

Also if

Code Select Expand

tput colors returnes NOT 256 add

Code Select Expand

export TERM="xterm-256color"
to your .bashrc and reload it via

Code Select Expand

. .bashrc

The script: image.sh

Imagemagick brings it's own viewer as far as i remember.
Besides that there is the tools fbi and zgv dedicated to the job.
