And how did you do that? the ascii image thing? I’m quite curious about ranger fm atm :D
I was pretty stoked to get it working:)
If you decide to do it, some steps——
*Use the GIT version —https://github.com/hut/ranger
*Install the packages in the “Optional Dependencies for FileBrowsing” list on the main ranger site — http://nongnu.org/ranger/
(caca-utils or libcaca is what handles image to ascii - http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/libcaca)
Then to get file previews working in ranger, i ran the command ‘ranger —copy-config=all’ which copies…well ALL of the config files into ~/.config/ranger. ‘~/.config/ranger/scope.sh’ is the script that defines file previewing… it shouldnt need any configuration if the file previewing packages were installed. You can open different files by mouse-click, enter, or right arrow and can define default apps in ~./config/ranger/apps.py. Oh and Backspace shows hidden files:)
