Feature: display image files in the teminal

[webxl]

aka imgcat: https://www.iterm2.com/documentation-images.html

[nirfse]

I would like to specify request for inline images. Thus ls *.jpg would render a list of thumbnails in current directory.

I would like to attempt this. Any advice on where/how to start?

Well 3 months now and still no word, are you @jorgegonzalez still on this? I would like to help if possible, does anyone have any advice on how to start tackling this feature?

[jorgegonzalez]

Sorry for never updating. I believe the problem lies in hterm's inability to render images.

Well seeing as they now seem to be planning to migrate to xterm.js you might want to hold off on this for now. #1275

Those rumors may be overstated. According to the most recent conversations I have had on slack, the decision was ultimately to stick with hterm.

The issue still happens on v2 with xterm.
Using imgcat, the image is not displayed in my terminal.

The issue still happens.
