I cannot think of anything easier than this. I have tested it only on 1 distro though. |

They are not. One may open an external graphical program outside of the terminal to e.g. display thumnails of all images in a directory and whatnot. |

They are not but it is nice to have. And currently, I think it is easy to do. |

@lahwaacz I very well know how to use sxiv or any other image viewer. I can't explain any further the convenience of being able to see the list of images present in a folder and quick previews at the same time. I think you could also suggest people to print every single image and then take a look at it. |

You are taking it subjectively and not picking up objective words. The feature may be convenient, but it is not absolutely necessary. |

Why not add easier options for image preview methods? Assuming that there isn't a universal way of previewing images. In case there is a way to preview images independent of the linux distribution and the terminal then that should be integrated.
Image previews are absolutely necessary. Trying to find images this by opening one after the another is time consuming. Also, I don't like the idea of image preview script that a user has to find by searching through some issues on github or anywhere else. They're not guaranteed to work and it's a hassle to setup things and maintain different files.
There should be a list of necessary things that a cli file manager should be able to do. Other than the performance there's not much lf could do as compared to ranger.
Or it could be just me expecting certain projects to go the "just works" way rather than the be "minimalist" way. There's quite a few file managers yet none of them are good at image previews. Many cli projects just expect users to do things with scripts and a tonne of changes, which at a point becomes a headache.
