This way we can have real images in the terminal. Here's an article about w3m-img.

I know this, it will be indeed way better than cacalib. Because I am using urwid which is quite high level for the ncurse I don't know if I can easily do that. But I will look into that.

If I manage to make it work it will be very hard to use that in a scrolling list (because there is no way of knowing the emplacement in pixel of images, moreover the image will have to be redrawn at every screen refresh). However a full screen (more a full terminal) image after a special key stroke is more likely to be possible. I have made several tests on this, for now I don't manage to make it draw a picture on a urwid widget. If you have some experience on this your help is welcomed ;)

I think the original w3m code can help. I will try it too this weekend.

Bump! Any progress?

ps. This project is based on urwid and used w3m, but haven't checked it myself =|

I am sorry I don't have time right now to continue the development of ncTelegram. But PR are welcomed ;)

I know I'm necroposting but just wanted to suggest using ueberzug instead of w3m, that is if this feature is ever gonna be implemented.
