Adium Image Inliner

This is a small script, which allows you to view images right in Adium, without involving the browser. It just checks link you're clicking on and if it looks like an image to a script, it will display it inline. Click on it and you'll see original link.

You can always override that and open link in browser by holding any modifier key (Control, Command, Alt, Shift).

Supported services

• Direct links to images
• imgur.com
• monosnap.com
• chzbgr.com
• img-fotki.yandex.ru
• img.leprosorium.com

This list can be improved, read more to learn how.

How to use

Clone a repo and run install.sh with your style name as parameter, i.e.:

./install.sh minimal_mod

If you want to go manual road, it's not very hard (check contents of install.sh if you want):

1. Find your style directory: it's either located in "/Applications/Adium.app/Contents/Resources/Message Styles/YourStyle" or "~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/Message Styles/YourStyle". You can check name of your style in Adium's Preferences -> Messages.

2. Put a file inline-images.js in Contents/Resources subdir of your style.

3. Edit a file Footer.html (create it if it doesn't exist) in Contents/Resources subdir to add this line:

   <script type="text/javascript" src="inline-images.js"></script>

This is it! Restart Adium and it should work.

I might write a script automating that in future.

Adding a new service

File inline-images.js contains a variable named IMAGE_SERVICES. This is a list of objects, each defining a service. Those objects have two properties:

1. test - either a regular expression, matching given link, or a function, which can perform custom matching (should return boolean if this service supports this link).

2. link - is a function, which should return a source url of an image by given link.

Add new service, send a pull request, and let the glory of inline images spread all over the world!
