Any menu or scriptable launchers w/ image support?

I found one w/ image support: lighthouse

I was wondering if anyone knows of any others that support PNG also.

I already checked and couldn't find one despite all the available options. Thanks anyway.

I found another one: Mutate
(via dmenu alternativeto.net)
It handles any script/excutable (bash, python, etc) that can write to STDOUT.

Right now the mutate-git [AUR] is compiling correctly, not mutate [AUR].

A few more:
* launchy - You can specify which folders (and file patterns) to index. (I couldn't the indexing and icon preview to work properly.)

* XFCE4 AppFinder - ("expanded mode" gives you app icons) It also indexes your custom ".desktop" entries in ~/.local/share/applications. Custom commands are also possible. These two features gave me a lot of flexibility.

* Xfcedashboard - It also  indexes your custom ".desktop" entries in ~/.local/share/applications, but does not allow custom commands like Xfce4-AppFinder.
