Describe the question

Are any camera raw image formats supported? what might be the approach to do so? it would be great for reviewing huge quantities of these files with a TUI approach

Anything else?

Install imagemagick and add the following to your yazi.toml

prepend_preloaders = [
    { name = "*.arw", run = "magick" }, 
]
prepend_previewers = [
    { name = "*.arw", run = "magick" }, 
]

[unphased]

I am pretty sure i have set this up but it's not showing any preview. are there some ways to debug the output? get the stderr of the magick command?

I had o3 crunch on that question but it just told me to run YAZI_LOG=debug RUST_BACKTRACE=1 yazi which did not give any relevant log output. That just gave some output like this:

DEBUG yazi_adapter::emulator: Terminal responded to DA1 in 7.981242ms: [27, 80, 62, 124, 107, 105, 116, 116, 121, 40, 48, 46, 51, 53, 46, 50, 41, 27, 92, 27, 91, 54, 59, 52, 54, 59, 49, 55, 116, 27, 93, 49, 49, 59, 114, 103, 98, 58, 48, 48, 48, 48, 47, 48, 48, 48, 48, 47, 48, 48, 48, 48, 27, 92, 27, 91, 63, 54, 50, 59, 99]

I used tab to inspect a working jpg:

and on a corresponding arw:

And my current full yazi config is:

[preview]
max_width = 2000
max_height = 2000

[manager]
linemode = "btime"
show_hidden = true
ratio = [1,2,5]

prepend_preloaders = [
    { name = "*.ARW", run = "magick" }, 
]
prepend_previewers = [
    { name = "*.ARW", run = "magick" }, 
]

Also the --debug shows now:

Plugin prepend rules should be under [plugin]. Also, you may need to increase the memory and image size limits. For example:

[preview]
  max_width = 2000
  max_height = 2000

[manager]
  linemode = "btime"
  show_hidden = true
  ratio = [1,2,5]

[tasks]
  image_alloc = 1536870912
  image_bound = [10000, 10000]

[plugin]
prepend_preloaders = [
  { name = "*.arw", run = "magick" }, 
]
prepend_previewers = [
  { name = "*.arw", run = "magick" }, 
]

It is working! This is a game changer. Thank you.

It's also a lot faster than Finder which is delightful.
