I suspect it might if `timg` tries to query something from the terminal but Vifm gets the response.

That's how Sixel looks like (as a text). You want to specify [%pd macro](https://vifm.info/vimdoc.shtml#vifm-%25pd) to instruct Vifm to pass that stuff directly to the terminal: ```vim fileviewer {*.bmp,*.jpg,*.jpeg,*.png,*.gif,*.xpm}, \ magick...
