Package: aview
Version: 1.3.0rc1-9
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
It'd be good if there were /etc/mailcap entries to run aview on pnm etc,
allowing for example
see foo.pnm
on a tty. (Or under X, though aview is unlikely to be the best
available image viewer in that case :-).
I get some joy from the debian/mime file below which the current
debian/rules debhelper bits install to /usr/lib/mime/packages/aview.
# priority=1 the same as caca-utils has for cacaview.
# This is below the web browsers like iceape at priority=2.
#
# -driver X11 makes its own native window and doesn't need a tty.
# Each X11 entry is before the -driver curses entry so that the native
# X is preferred when possible.
#
# ENHANCE-ME: Can one of the drivers do a "copiousoutput" style
# ascii-only "cat" to stdout (for priority=0)? "-driver stdout" seems
# interactive still, which is not wanted for copiousoutput.
#
# ENHANCE-ME: "asciiview" and the numerous formats it can show by
# conversion could be included here. But would need a "test" in each
# that the necessary imagemagick or netpbm is available. Perhaps an
# option on asciiview could ask it nicely whether format xyz is
# possible.
