[preview-tui] Stop previewing when performing action.

[duffydack]

I like the new video previews, much better than just a (sometimes crap) thumbnail, but, when I open the file I'm hovering to play it, the preview is still happily previewing away. Can something be adapted to kill this preview after opening it?

[luukvbaal]

Yes, the restorepreview patch does exactly that.

Sorry, I'm building nnn-git with that patch set but it's not doing what I expected - stop preview when I open it. I must be missing something.

[luukvbaal]

Not sure sorry, it's been a while since I used it and can't test it currently. But yes that's what it is supposed to do.

[luukvbaal]

Sorry for misleading, the restorepreview patch only works when opening files in the attached editor. See #1814, where changing that is being considered.

Just an update. Since I'll never need to see it for more than 5 seconds, I just added a timeout 5 to the mpv command. :)
