Describe the question

Is there no way to override Adaptor to wayland so I can use foot terminal with ueberzugpp?
This is the only hindrance I have with yazi!

Anything else?

No response

foot terminal itself supports image previews, and Yazi will automatically detect and enable it. Is there any reason to use Überzug++ instead of the terminal's built-in one?

In general, I encourage using the terminal's native image preview rather than Überzug++, because Überzug++ works in a hacky way - creating and overlaying a window on top of the terminal, which causes many issues:

• It can obscure Yazi's pop-up components (input, confirm, which-key, etc.), ueberzug previews overlap and hide keymap menu #747 (comment).
• Image preview over SSH doesn't work, since the Yazi instance on the remote host can't invoke the user's local Überzug++. Even forwarding X over SSH doesn't work, Does not work in urxvt with X forwarding jstkdng/ueberzugpp#217.
• In some environments, the image can't be cleared when switching to another window, or the image is misaligned with the terminal window
• On Wayland, it only works with certain window managers

So, Yazi only uses Überzug++ as a last resort when the user's terminal doesn't support image preview, and when the built-in preview is available, I recommend using that, as the cons of switching to Überzug++ may over its pros.

Mainly because sixel has this weird artifact with blur

This is sixel

This is Ueberzug++ wayland version

[sxyazi]

Would tuning image_quality and image_filter help? (Do a yazi --clear-cache after the change)

yazi/yazi-config/preset/yazi-default.toml

Lines 26 to 27 in c28d2e8

	image_filter = "triangle"
	image_quality = 75

Can you upload that image so I can see if something is going wrong since it's a bit weird that I haven't noticed such a difference with other images.

[BEST8OY]

No, it didn't help. (I'm using lanczos3 and 90)
