When I try to use kitty +kitten icat, I receive the following error:

➜  ~ kitty +kitten icat image.jpeg                   
Failed to open image: image.jpeg with error: identify: no decode delegate for this image format `JPEG' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/741.

Yes image.jpeg is the name of the file I' trying to open and it is in my home directory.

I am able to open an image in Terminology with tycat. But I am not able to do it with Neofetch.

I've tried numerous different terminal, and messing around with ImageMagik. I have done research on this and havne't been able to find a solution. I have tried this with multiple image types and images. Nothing has worked so far. The neofetch always returns blank.

  • Does it open directly in Imagemagick? – fmw42 Jan 30 '23 at 02:13
  • Could you please elaborate. – VehementHam Jan 30 '23 at 02:39
  • Does `convert your_image.suffix your_image.gif` work in command line Imagemagick. – fmw42 Jan 30 '23 at 03:30
  • No. I get this error: ➜ ~ convert image.png image.gif convert: no decode delegate for this image format `PNG' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/741. convert: no images defined `image.gif' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3342. ➜ ~ – VehementHam Jan 30 '23 at 13:04
  • What do you get from `convert -version`? Does it include PNG in the list of Delegates. If not, you need to install the libpng delegate and recompile IM or get a binary that includes PNG – fmw42 Jan 30 '23 at 17:21
  • Here is the output: Version: ImageMagick 7.1.0-59 Q16-HDRI x86_64 20828 https://imagemagick.org Copyright: (C) 1999 ImageMagick Studio LLC License: https://imagemagick.org/script/license.php Features: Cipher DPC HDRI Delegates (built-in): Compiler: gcc (12.2) The delegate png is not shown. `libpng` is already installed. – VehementHam Jan 31 '23 at 00:48
  • You have no delegates. You must have installed from source. You need to install from a binary so that you get all the delegates. Or install delegates, then install from source linking to the delegates. – fmw42 Jan 31 '23 at 01:41
  • Strange. I've installed the binary as well as from source. What are the delegates that I need to install? – VehementHam Jan 31 '23 at 02:56
  • Here is what I have though not all are needed. `bzlib cairo djvu fftw fontconfig freetype gslib gvc heic jbig jng jp2 jpeg lcms lqr ltdl lzma openexr png ps raw rsvg tiff webp x xml zlib`. I think you need at minimum: `bzlib fontconfig freetkype gslib jpeg lams png tiff xml zlib`. What do you get from the version that you installed from binary? Where did you get your binary and on what platform/os? – fmw42 Jan 31 '23 at 04:04
  • How do I view the version of the binary install? – VehementHam Jan 31 '23 at 21:52
  • `path_to_version/convert -version`. First find all the versions you have and their paths using `type convert`. If using IM 7 rather than IM 6, then replace `convert` with `magick` – fmw42 Jan 31 '23 at 22:52
  • 7.1.0-59 I think. I ran both commands /sbin/convert -version as well as for magick. They both had the same out put. I installed the delegates that you said were required except for the ones that broke other dependencies according to my package manage (xbps). The delegates list is still blank. – VehementHam Jan 31 '23 at 23:31
  • After installing delegates, you need to recompile Imagemagick. If you did not install delegates in a way that Imagemagick can find them, then it won't work. Be sure your $PATH includes both the location of imagemagick and the location of your delegates. Also if a delegate needs other delegates, then those must be installed. Check the config.log of each delegate to find out what is wrong. Also the config.log of Imagemagick. – fmw42 Feb 01 '23 at 01:29
