Bug with preview

[rudolfschmidt]

Hi,
the app crashes when I preview pdf files.
I like the approach with c. I like ranger, it has everything that you need, but it's quite too complex and overloaded with things you do not need and what its the worst, it's slow. There needs to be a more performant alternative.

What do you mean by crashes? Does it segfaults or does it just freezes?

If you're having this problem (see image)
BEFORE INSTALLING, try this steps. Maybe help

• Change in config.h from #define SHOW_PDF_PREVIEWS 0 to #define SHOW_PDF_PREVIEWS 1
• Check dependencies. Exemple for debian like:
  sudo apt install libncurses-dev libxext-dev mediainfo atool fzf xdg-utils poppler-utils

Check if

• your FILE_OPENER in config.h it's right?
• it's installed in your machine?
• have a pdf viewer installed in your machine?
• this pdf viewer configured to open with your FILE_OPENER?
