Unable to display Latex on foot terminal

[MightyPlaza]

Using version 2.7.0, on foot terminal, I am unable to render anything with Latex (IPython.display or Markdown).
Using matplotlib.pyplot plots a graph as expected
On kitty everything works as expected
(behaviour does not change for foot or kitty with/without "graphics": "sixel")
Unsure if this is an issue with my system

Other minor (unrelated) issues I've found:

• I can't seem to create any files without explicitly adding the .ipynb extension. euporie shows Saving... permanently
• Changing color scheme to custom without having the colors set up results in a lockdown and a cpu core being at 100%. Killing the program and trying to start it, results in an error
• Can anything be done for euporie to work with NumLock enabled? (Installation issues  #94)

Thanks for awesome project

Hi,

1. If LaTeX rendering is working as expected in kitty, you probably need to install a program which can convert from png to sixel, such as chafa, imagemagick, or the chafa.py python package.

   Kitty can display png images directly using the kitty graphics protocol, whereas foot can only display sixel graphics, so euporie needs some way to convert images into sixels.

2. I think this file saving issue might already fixed in the dev branch. Could you explain exactly what's happening in a bit more detail for me?

3. I've added default values for the custom color config options in dev, which should fix this 🤞

4. I'll take a look at the numlock issue tomorrow. I thought I'd already fixed it, so thanks for letting me know it's still not working!

tried installing all 3 and restarting euporie, still no output on foot

If I don't specify the .ipynb at the end of the name when creating a new file, nothing happens. It permanently says Saving... in the corner

Ok, got it, thanks.

I've made a fix for the issue with saving notebooks without a file extension (a41b3b5), which will be in the next release.

The issue with LaTeX in foot is fixed in dev branch, so should work in the next release.

I've just released v2.8.0, which should fix the issues reported here

[MightyPlaza]

can confirm all issues have been fixed (tab with numlock on still doesn't work, but the rest of the keys seem to work now)
thanks for the help

[joouha]

Thanks. I've released published v2.8.1 with a (untested) fix for the tab key.

[MightyPlaza]

can confirm it works
thanks again
