Preview image prob still . .

[philiprhoades]

People,

There are quite a few discussions on this issue but none of the suggestions fix my problem.

Runtime Environment

ranger version: ranger 1.9.3
Python version: 3.12.0 (main, Oct 2 2023, 00:00:00) [GCC 13.2.1 20230918 (Red Hat 13.2.1-3)]
Locale: None.None

Operating system and version:
Fedora 39 with Sway

Terminal emulator and version:
kitty 0.30.1

Current Behavior

With these lines in ranger.conf:

set preview_images true
set preview_images_method kitty

and ONLY these two lines in rifle.conf:

mime ^image, has eog,      X, flag f = eog -- "$@"
mime ^image/svg, has eog,      X, flag f = eog -- "$@"

These work as expected:

rifle x.png
rifle x.svg

but only the x.png works from ranger - the svg gives error:

"cannot identify image file"

I have seen some comments that this is a Sway problem? - why exactly?

Expected Behavior

ranger is able to open svg files as well as bitmaps.

Context

This bug slows down my image browsing.

Possible Solutions

?

Steps to reproduce

As above.

Thanks,
Phil.
