#!/bin/bash # ranger supports enhanced previews. If the option "use_preview_script" # is set to True and this file exists, this script will be called and its # output is displayed in ranger. ANSI color codes are supported. # NOTES: This script is considered a configuration file. If you upgrade # ranger, it will be left untouched. (You must update it yourself.) # Also, ranger disables STDIN here, so interactive scripts won't work properly # Meanings of exit codes: # code | meaning | action of ranger # -----+------------+------------------------------------------- # 0 | success | success. display stdout as preview # 1 | no preview | failure. display no preview at all # 2 | plain text | display the plain content of the file # 3 | fix width | success. Don't reload when width changes # 4 | fix height | success. Don't reload when height changes # 5 | fix both | success. Don't ever reload # Meaningful aliases for arguments: path="$1" # Full path of the selected file width="$2" # Width of the preview pane (number of fitting characters) height="$3" # Height of the preview pane (number of fitting characters) maxln=200 # Stop after $maxln lines.
