I installed ranger 1.6.1 via MacPorts along with:
- file 5.14, py27-chardet, w3m 0.5.3, img2txt 0.99-beta18, highlight 3.9, atool 0.37.0, lynx 2.8.7rel.2, pdftotext 0.22.5, and mediainfo 0.7.63.
All tools successfully built except none of the optional file previews are working within ranger. After installing ranger I followed the documentation and did the following:
- ranger --copy-config=all
- modified rc.conf and added set preview_images true
- modified ranger/ext/img_display.py line 16 to W3MIMGDISPLAY_PATH = '/opt/local/libex/w3m/w3mimgdisplay' to point to where my w3mingdisplay is.
I tried opening an image with w3m in the mac terminal—settings xterm-256color—and it opened a jpg in a new window with ImageMagick in X11. It balked when I tried to open a .tif file though. I have tiff 4.0.3 installed.
I'd like to use ranger to preview image files (specifically .tif files) if at all possible and any recommendations on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
