Edit: Thanks for the help, Yazi seems to be what I’m looking for.
Basically the title. I am looking to use a TUI file manager, but most seem to only support opening files in one external application based on mime-type.
What I need:
Select an image -> file manager shows a preview (unpixelated)
Open image -> it opens in my default image viewer
Open image with… -> file manager lets me select a program to open it
I need this cause I often want to open images in gimp, but I don’t want it to be my default image viewer.
Have you checked out yazi? It shows a file preview and you can
Open withwithOI use Yazi, and I have a separate bind to open the file in Junction. Junction is an “open with” chooser. Relevant lines from
keymap.toml:[[mgr.prepend_keymap]] on = ["b", "j"] desc = "open in Junction" run = ''' shell 'flatpak run re.sonny.Junction "$@"' --confirm --orphan '''I’m not the biggest fan of Junction, but sadly I haven’t found anything better yet.
Yazi allows you to set multiple openers, though I assume you have already looked into it already?
Nope, the Duck failed me on this one. Thank you!
Nice. Yazi’s probably the best in this niche, you are going to like it a lot.
Took me half an hour to figure it out, because I’m thick as a brick, but holy shit this is nice:
Thanks again.
