I spent the last couple days putting together a sixel image browser inãJavascript. It lists a menu of directories containing image files. When the user selects one, it calls Imagemagick to convert the selected image to sixel format, and then displays the resulting sixel to the user. Imagemagickãconversion is pretty quick, depending on the size and complexity of the imageãbeing converted.ããThe mod requires SyncTERM. If a user runs it in a terminal other than SyncTERM,ãit offers a polite error message and quits.ããFor now I have it set up on my board to browse through stuff like the GIFsãGalore CD and the Earth Science pictures of the day from fsxNet. So now usersãneedn't necessarily download files from the board in order to view them.ããI expect I'll spend more time giving it some more polish, but it's available inãmy doors menu if anyone wants to come try it out. ãã|01<|09co|03d|11e|15Ÿ|11e|03n|09ix|01>|07ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ -=[ conchaos.synchro.net | ConstructiveChaos BBS ]=-ã

I did notice some differences when comparing the two. ãã * Syncterm displays the sixel while loading it, whereas magiterm waits for it to load before displaying it.ãã * Syncterm moves the cursor to the end of the sixel image, magiterm the cursor stays where it was when sending the sixel.ããI'm guessing you're scaling images to fit to the screen with image magick as well as converting them? If so perhaps that could be an option, or just scale so the width fits? Syncterm / Magiterm both scroll sixel images that are to high for the screen. ããAs for width, Syncterm doesn't do any scaling / scrolling (as far as I can tell) Magiterm will scale images wider than the screen so they fit width ways.ããAnyway, cool mod & well done :)ããAndrewãã---ã þ Synchronet þ The Positronic Brain - positronicbrain.net:11892ã

I didn't realize MagiTerm sent version info to SBBS like SyncTerm does. I'll amend my message based on this.ãã Ap> I'm guessing you're scaling images to fit to the screen with image magickã Ap> as well as converting them?

I did consider makingãthe scaling optional, so maybe an enhancement for later. ãã Ap> Syncterm / Magiterm both scroll sixel images thatã Ap> are to high for the screen. ããThat's interesting, because for me scrolling back in SyncTerm seems to destroy the sixel image; it just disappears completely. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?ãã Ap> Anyway, cool mod & well done :)ããMuch appreciated!

I just mean they scroll down as they are shown, rather than get cut off at the bottom.ããAndrewãã---ã þ Synchronet þ The Positronic Brain - positronicbrain.net:11892ã

If used, simply displays the specified image converted to sixel and ends. Using this small mod, I set up GIF, JPG, PNG, and BMP as Viewable File Types in SCFG. So now whenever someone browses directories containing images (e.g.: GIFs Galore CD-ROM), if they go into Extended Info for any image file and hit V to view it, they are shown a sixel preview of the image.ããThis same mod can be used in ansiview.js for artpacks containing image formats. I modded mine here so it shows a sixel version of any non-ANSI art file.ãã|01<|09co|03d|11e|15Ÿ|11e|03n|09ix|01>|07ã---ã þ Synchronet þ -=[ ConstructiveChaos BBS | conchaos.synchro.net ]=-ã
