  • IcyView 0.9.0

    From Omnibrain@21:2/150 to All on Saturday, December 06, 2025 09:22:28
    Surely not the right area but no idea where to post it :)

    https://github.com/mkrueger/icy_tools/releases/tag/IcyView0.9.0

    After asking the community what I should change/redo while redesigning icy view and give it a new spin I took all the info & ideas I got as feedback
    (0 so far) and made a new release:

    16 color.rs integration & new 16 color.rs like thumbnail view

    File view no longer sucks

    Added baud rate emulation

    New modes: view your sauce & demo/slide show mode (I rly like it)

    Bind your favorite ansi tools on a key & start it directly from icy_view

    Supports all the latest icy_engine features like VT52 or IGS,
    list is long what it all supports - basically it should cover any
    ansi/ascii/bbs releated thing (What it didn't probably just needs
    an extension bound to it - need feeback about that - I'm searching
    things for the todo pile)

    My decompression library got now it's prime time: 7z, zip, rar, lha, arj,
    arc, uc2 are fully supported (or at least: should be) (Yeah took the time
    to even implement legacy zip decompression using rust :) - 2 years ago&)

    Shares much infrastructure with icy_term (like export dialog)

    Probably forgot some things - icy_view was always just a little test tool for my engine - now it has grown up.

    enjoy.

    Thank you so much - the updates sound great and I'll get Icy_Tools updated on all my systems. Appreciate your coding very much.

    ty I just need spare time projects no billion dollar company destroys :).

    btw. are you still into the sixel thing? For the upcoming release of icy_draw
    I made some advancements in sixel encoding - got an awesome dithering - I think it's even better than the libsixel one - I first ported that.

    otoh I never got feedback for icy draw sixel support :)

    Hey Omnibrain!

    I, for one, never knew about it until I read this. Is this something that just displays sixels? Or are you able to edit/create sixels from a loaded image or something?

    Regards,
    Nick

    You know, a few other folks actually found better use cases for SIX [AI-WX, etc] but I do have a couple back burner SIXEL projects.

    Always invite m0re support, tho!

    Just use images on an ansi screen like paste them in.
