Configure external image viewer?

Configure external image viewer?

[Teemu Likonen]

Is it possible to configure what image viewer Gnus will use for viewing
attached images?

I'm using Debian GNU/Linux and currently Gnus opens ImageMagick program
when I click those attachment buttons:

    [2. image/jpeg; file.jpg]

ImageMagick opens but it does not actually show the image. Even if it
did work I'd prefer some other viewer like Gwenview of "kfmclient exec".
I tried to edit my ~/.mailcap file and added the following line to the
file. It didn't have any effect.

    image/*; gwenview '%s'; test=test "$DISPLAY"

Try it with just:

| image/*; /usr/bin/gwenview %s

This works for me.

Does not help. If "imagemagick" package is installed in my Debian system
then ImageMagick is opened (but not the image). If the package is not
installed nothing seems to happen. In both cases the *Messages* buffer
prints this:

    Viewing with display 'jpeg:%s'
    Displaying display 'jpeg:/tmp/emm.3264rZC/file.jpg'...done

Do you have the metamail package installed?
If so, you can have this entry in .mailcap:

image/jpeg; showpicture -viewer display %s

Another thing, the image/* ... entry have to be after the other image
entries (e.g image/jpg, image/jpeg, etc...)

Please post your complete ~/.mailcap for analysis.

I noticed something. I had to be more explicit about the mimetypes in
~/.mailcap file: "image/jpeg" works but "image/*" does not. Also, I had
to restart Emacs for any changes in ~/.mailcap to take effect. Quite
strange but it's working now. The problem solved. :-)
