[Slackbuilds-users] so-called terminal image viewers

[Jude DaShiell]

For people without vision, chafa can help.  The view can be shown with symbols for a linux terminal and there’s even a braille mode and that needs either a braille printer with graphics capability or a refreshable braille graphics display both expensive for people but organizations buy most of those for that reason anyway.

SlackBuilds.org (SBo, which isn't (official) Slackware) has fbida & fbv, neither which can go to previous or next images anymore, apparently, which I reported years ago to the maintainers and one or more of the programmers but never heard back.  That's why I'm looking for new stuff, and they're all called terminal image viewers but aren't: only X terminal viewers!  There are a couple other framebuffer ones, but they don't seem to take input after you display an image.
