If you mean "how can I change the way images are previewed?", then you can't.

You can change how images are opened on enter out of broot.

:-) Yes, that's what i mean - when i'm hit enter and a external image viewer is starting. Where can i set which image viewer starts?

On enter, with the default broot settings (recommended here), the standard viewer of your system is called.

For linux, this is usually xdg-open for example.

Each of those opener has specific settings.

If you wait for a few... hem... weeks maybe... then I have in my TODO list the addition of extensions to verb filtering so that you'll be able to specify a program for some extensions.

On my Arch running with KDE Plasma the standard image viewer does not start on my system, which is why I asked whether I could control it via broot. But I think a corresponding function would be useful - also for other file types.

of course - broot is a really useful tool for me :-)

Thanks
