Hi, I am new to this, but I discovered the problem.
in the file browser settings you set the find_cmd property with fd, but in ubuntu os, the command fd does not exist exactly, then you replace it with rg or fdfind
The additional problem is that you cannot change this option of your init.vim or your .vimrc, you must edit the media_files.lua file that is stored in the plugin and change the default configuration on the end of the file:

to:

return require('telescope').register_extension {
  setup = function(ext_config)
    filetypes = ext_config.filetypes or {"png", "jpg", "mp4", "webm", "pdf"}
    --find_cmd = ext_config.find_cmd or "fd"
    find_cmd = ext_config.find_cmd or "rg"
  end,
  exports = {
    media_files = M.media_files
  },
}

Will this be available for MacOS anytime in the future?

I have the same problem. But I am not using WSL. I am using Pop OS.

probably , you need to make it work with icat

I have the same issue, but im on Manjaro (still on wsl). the fd command works, but i still have no preview at all

first make sure ueberzug works and you have xorg running.

[Nathan GD]

I dont think i can run xorg on wsl... can i?

[Sidhanth Rathod]

idk , I never used wsl 😆

[Nathan GD]

well then, if the extension needs xorg to run, it mean it depending of a display server, so, it cannot work on wsl (neither on wayland) until there is another implementation :/

im not a pro in the domain, so maybe i'm mistaking, but i think this is it, we cant have this :(

[Sidhanth Rathod]

I would suggest doing a dual boot

So, I'm guessing this means the whole config is not being loaded at all...

In WSL 2 you can run GUI applications

Hello, I have doubt in this code, what is M in M.media_files?

M is the objet to return inside the plugin file
