Not detecting kitty image support on Mac, falls back to ANSI

[sschuldenzucker]

On my Mac, euporie isn't detecting that I'm running it from within kitty and it doesn't display images (images are displayed as ANSI art). This affects all tools (notebook, preview).

Tools and versions:

steffen@srs ~ % echo $TERM
xterm-kitty
steffen@srs ~ % kitty --version
kitty 0.34.1 created by Kovid Goyal
steffen@srs ~ % euporie --version
euporie 2.8.2

Image support works just fine in other tools, e.g., kitten icat.

What happens if you run the following in kitty?

printf "\x1b_Gi=4294967295,s=1,v=1,a=q,t=d,f=24;AAAA\x1b\\"

This is the terminal escape sequence euporie uses to detect kitty graphics support.
The terminal should respond with \x1b_Gi=4294967295;OK\x1b\:

Eh, gmgm, missed this, sorry. In fish, I get the following, in red.

18:00:33 steffen@srs ~> printf "\x1b_Gi=4294967295,s=1,v=1,a=q,t=d,f=24;AAAA\x1b\\"
18:00:38 steffen@srs ~> _Gi=4294967295;OK\

In zsh, I get the following, not in red:

steffen@srs ~ % printf "\x1b_Gi=4294967295,s=1,v=1,a=q,t=d,f=24;AAAA\x1b\\"
steffen@srs ~ % "\x1b_Gi=4294967295,s=1,v=1,a=q,t=d,f=24;AAAA\x1b\\"Gi=4294967295;OK

Hmm - that is the expected output, so euporie should detect that kitty graphics are supported.

Do you have the graphics option set in your configuration file?
Does it work if you launch euporie with the --graphics=kitty command line flag?

I tried, euporie-console --graphics=kitty, but it did not work,

I think it works for euporie 2.7.0 but not euporie 2.8.5, version 2.8.5 is much faster. For version 2.8.5, it show images looks like below,

Hi @wybert - what happens if you launch euporie with the --graphics=kitty --force-graphics flags?

[wybert]

with --graphics=kitty --force-graphics it does work, I guess you need add --force-graphics?

[joouha]

Ah interesting: it seems that detection of kitty graphics support is failing on MacOS for some reason.

I'm going to try an set up a MacOS VM so I can figure out what's going on with this.
