Surely not the right area but no idea where to post it :)

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.

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 :)

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?

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.
