Description-en: a scriptable frame buffer and ascii art image viewer
FIM is a highly customizable and scriptable image viewer targeted at the
users who are confortable with software like the Vim text editor or the Mutt
mail user agent (it aims to be a swiss army knife for viewing images).
It is based on the Fbi image viewer (by Gerd Hoffmann), and works primarily in
the Linux framebuffer console.
It is multidevice: it has X support, too (via the SDL library) and it supports
ascii art output (via the aalib library).
It is capable of regular expressions based (on filename) image viewing,vim-like
autocommands, it offers GNU readline command line autocompletion and history,
completely customizable key bindings, external/internal (if-while based)
scriptability (through return codes, standard input/output, and commands given
at invocation time, initialization file), internal filename-based image search,
and much more features.
