    <thetext>It would be nice to be able to simply `cat image.six` (or probably more often `img2sixel image.jpg |cat`?) and get the image displayed right inside Konsole. Xterm already has support for Sixel (if launched `xterm -xrm &quot;XTerm*decTerminalID: vt340&quot; -xrm &quot;XTerm*numColorRegisters: 256&quot;`).

    <thetext>Well at some point I wonder if we&apos;re trying to do too much in a terminal... the images look good in xterm though.</thetext>

Me too :)

You might find a few probably interesting thoughts in the VTE counterpart of this feature request at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729204, in particular in comment_15 thereof.</thetext>

    <thetext>I do not think adding this feature is too much.
As xterm already supports it and it has only one MB total in installed package size. I think adding this is very useful, it allows building console applications that can handle captures without relying on the xserver and also works over ssh.</thetext>

    <thetext>I like this, because unlike many image extensions, this is based on an actual industry standard, it&apos;s supported by DEC VTs as well as several Unix terminal emulators (xterm, mlterm, active work in VTE) and there are quite a few applications now that use it.

I would tend to agree with the point in the VTE discussion that it&apos;s better to think of a general way to implement images and use Sixel and Sixel-enabled appliations as the test case, rather than supporting Sixel specifically.</thetext>

    <thetext>https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/merge_requests/517 has the basics.

Sixel is a horrible, horrible format, for the record. And a terminal is no place for images, images are per definition graphical, but it isn&apos;t that hard for at least basic support.

Theoretical &quot;proper&quot; support with reflowing etc. is basically impossible, just see how horribly slow xterm gets in VT340 mode (and that is still with a 1000px limit). But implementing enough to enable what people usually use it for should be feasible.</thetext>

We already support Sixel
