[Bug] cover is low res on tmux

[amigthea]

I know this is probably on tmux side, but when using kew on tmux all album cover are displayed low res like this

is there a known workaround?

A terminal needs sixel support to enable images to look as they should.

tmux officially supports sixel when compiled with ./configure --enable-sixel

There are other terminals which support it as well. Listed here:

correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't sixel be already supported if this command succede?

[ravachol]

Yeah it should! kew uses chafa to display images, so it might be related to how chafa handles tmux.

I got various bugs regarding the covers when using different terminals with tmux.

What is the terminal you are using tmux with?

[amigthea]

thank you for the insight! I'm using foot

@hpjansson Do you perhaps know what's going on here?

[amigthea]

can confirm that's some interaction between tmux on foot and chafa, top command was executed in tmux, bottom on bare foot (pun intended)

@hpjansson Do you perhaps know what's going on here?

I think so. tmux sixel support was merged in 3.4, so we can't enable it unconditionally everywhere. I added code in hpjansson/chafa#217 to detect the version and enable it conditionally - this will be in the next release, probably fixing this issue.
