use in midnight commander ?

[emrum]

it is great,
i would like to use it in midnight commander ("mc") , linux, kitty terminal.

it works already, by setting this
export VIEWER=viu # also disable internal viewer in settings
but the image disappears immediately, because viu quits immediately, (and mc gui shows over)
maybe add a command-line arguement, for not exiting until key-pressed ?

I wanted to achieve something similar, but inside the MC's built-in pager. You can configure how different file types are previewed in the mc.ext.ini config file. It seems that it doesn't support the escape sequenced generated by viu, so unfortunately that didn't work. I would be happy to know if there's a solution for that - but that's an MC issue.

In your case, however, I suppose you could wrap viu in a little bash script like this:

#!/bin/sh
viu "$@"
read -n 1 -s -r -p "Press any key..."

and set VIEWER=this-script instead of viu.
