chafa v1.14.0 messes up sixel image previews

[UtkarshVerma]

In the new versions of chafa, some extra sixel escape sequences are sent which messes up image previews in lf. The fix is to add an extra --polite=on to avoid sending them.

Is there any way I can append these args to chafa?

For now, I wrote a wrapper for chafa and placed in in my ~/.local/bin folder.

#!/bin/sh

exec /usr/sbin/chafa --polite=on "$@"

This should be resolved by #90 when it's merged.

This has not been merged yet, neither has the PR updating the README(lf supports sixel now). Has the project been abandoned?

After spending an hour researching this and looking through the lf/ctpv/chafa repo issues, in the end I simply downgraded chafa to 1.12.4.
