Usage image.nvim in Ghostty

[XavierLaRochelle]

Hi, love the project!

Has anyone's been able to make image.nvim work inside of the Ghostty terminal?

I know it was designed around kitty but since Ghostty supports Kitty's graphics protocol, I figured it might be compatible. I tried myself but I'm stuck with the following error message : "magick rock not found, please install it and restart your editor.". I'm pretty sure magick rock is installed correctly on my machine so I'm guessing this is a terminal compatibility issue.

It does indeed work in Ghostty. Your error message about magick rock not found is most likely not related to the terminal you're using.

I have personally noticed better performance/stability with magick_cli than magick_rock. Try to set the following config options, and ensure the ImageMagick CLI is installed:

require('image').setup {
  backend = 'kitty',
  processor = 'magick_cli',
}

Don't really know what changed but I tried it again today and the error message was gone and now it works fine. Thanks for the help nevertheless!
