Describe the question

Files with image content (e.g., lua_EeJJhI) are created under the /tmp directory, and when I click on them, another lua_xxxxx file is created and again and again. This happens with every single file.

I tried the following code in the yazi.toml file, but it did not solve the problem:

[plugin]
prepend_previewers = [
{ name = "/tmp/**", run = "noop" },
]

Anything else?

No response

{ name = "/tmp/**", run = "noop" },

Use url instead of name if you're using the latest nightly version - name has been renamed to url to support virtual file system, see #3034 for more details.

You may also want to add a prepend_preloaders to disable preloaders in addition to previewers within that directory as well.
