elinks and feh

I am using elinks-0.13-GIT from the AUR.

If I direct elinks to ~/user/Pictures/ elinks will call on feh to open any png, gif or jpg that I choose with no problem.

However, if I'm viewing a web page eg www.nytimes.com, anytime I try to view an image I get:

feh WARNING: /tmp/elinksORNEpV.png does not exist -skipping
feh - no loadable images specified

I would appreciate any assistance or advice as I am fairly new to this.

Thanks

Re: elinks and feh

Where did you configure elinks to use feh for images? mailcap? If so, what's your entry?

Re: elinks and feh

The configuration is in ~/.elinks/elinks.conf:

## mime.handler.image_viewer.unix-xwin

        ## mime.handler.image_viewer.unix-xwin.ask [0|1]
        set mime.handler.image_viewer.unix-xwin.ask = 1
        ## mime.handler.image_viewer.unix-xwin.block [0|1]
        set mime.handler.image_viewer.unix-xwin.block = 0
        ## mime.handler.image_viewer.unix-xwin.program <str>
        set mime.handler.image_viewer.unix-xwin.program = "feh %"

Re: elinks and feh

Ok, I didn't know about this way to configure it. I tried to do it your way, but it doesn't work at all... But what I DO get is

Unable to retrieve mailcap:pim '/tmp/elinkCruPNa.jpg' > /dev/null 2>&1 && /bin/rm -f /tmp/elinkCruPNa.jpg

Maybe yours and mine are related... I didn't have this problem some revisions ago.
