Sixel previews don't work

[yonas]

I have set sixel true in ~/.config/lf/lfrc.

Using foot terminal: foot version: 1.15.3 (Aug 30 2023, branch 'master') +pgo +ime -graphemes -assertions
lf: c816343
go: 1.20.3 linux/amd64

How does your preview script look like? Is it similar to the example script from here: #1211

@DusanLesan Thanks. I don't have a preview script. If lf supports sixel, why do I need one?

lf doesn't do anything by itself to display image previews, it delegates the work to the previewer script which every user must configure. Please see the documentation on this.

Furthermore, image previews is such a widely used feature that it has its own section in the wiki, you may want to read through that as well.
