But sometimes one may want to quickly view content, Quick view (Ctrl+Q) style, without leaving Far.
In the past I used Image viewer (last version from 2020-05-08) from farplugs, but it was always slow in rendering images, and it seemingly only works in legacy console - in Windows Terminal it shows only solid black color. So I would like to find some new robust solution if possible.
What Far Manager community uses nowadays for viewing images?
Are there any macros, plugins or CLI tools seamlessly integrating with Far allowing to show (overlay) image from active panel in passive panel?
I noticed there is PictureView 3 (RU discussion, RU news, PlugRing page), but haven't tested it yet. First post in RU discussion mentions PictureView3_20140813_last_xp.7z as the latest version that runs on WinXP and seems to be from 2014-08-13, and its PlugRing page was seemingly last updated on 2021-04-19. Is below one the last version? Is it considered feature complete and no longer developed/maintained?
Code: Select all
Version : 3.2021.4.19
Far version : 3.0.3000
