Fetch 1.1 changelog

<br > ^{New screenfetch mode}

• If w3m or imagemagick aren't installed we gracefully fallback to ascii mode.
• Automatically find the w3m-img path and fallback to ascii mode if not found. [1]
• Fix padding escape codes on BSD systems.
• Swap escape codes from \e to \033 for consistency.
• We only move the cursor to the bottom of the terminal in w3m/iterm2 rendering modes.
• Cursor position is now dynamic in ascii mode based on the height of the ascii and info text.
• If images and ascii are off, don't clear the terminal
• The script now exits correctly instead of always exiting with status code 1
• If the script exits for any reason, unhide the cursor.
• Removed duplicate blocks inside getcpu and getmemory.
• Removed --colors as it was apparently broken from day 1.
• Usage has been reformatted so that every flag has a value.

Image

• Added support for displaying ascii art inside of text files.
• Added "screenfetch mode" which will display your distro's ascii art next to the info. [1]<br >
• Added --ascii_distro to choose which distro's ascii logo to display.
• Added --ascii_colors and $ascii_colors which allow you to change the colors of the ascii art<br > and distro logos. [2]
• Added --size and $image_size to set the image size in pixels.
• Rename --shuffledir and $shuffledir to shuffle_dir.
• Rename --imgtempdir and $imgtempdir to thumbnail_dir
• Removed --split_size and $split_size as they were weird and confusing to use.
• Default thumbnail directory is now $HOME/.cache/thumbnails/fetch. Thanks @tudurom
• If --image and --ascii are left empty we fallback to ascii distro mode.

Example usage of ascii from file:

fetch --ascii "path/to/ascii" --ascii_color 2

distro and OS ascii art. For custom art the script will color the entirety of it using<br > the first value of ascii_colors. If ascii_colors is left empty, color will be disabled.

Config file

• Fetch now has a config file that you can share with people and keep between<br > script versions!
• Added --config and $config_file to specify a custom config location.
• Added --config off, --config none and $config to enable / disable config files<br > at launch or in script.

Makefile

• Fetch now has a make file due to the increasing number of files,<br > this allows the script to be easily installed and uninstalled on<br > systems it isn't packaged for yet! [1]

Packages

• Fetch now has a Gentoo/Funtoo e-build courtesy of @z1lt0id

Stdout

• Added stdout mode which allows you to fetch info in a plain text format that works<br > with lemonbar and in your scripts. You can use it by launching fetch with --stdout to print all functions enabled<br > in your printinfo function. You can selectively print functions by passing arguments to --stdout<br > like so:

# Print the output of all info functions enabled in printinfo
fetch --stdout

# Print the output of memory
fetch --stdout memory

# Print the output of memory and disk
fetch --stdout disk

# Print the output of all functions excluding x
fetch --stdout --disable kernel packages gtktheme

• Added --stdout_seperator and $stdout_seperator which takes a string and adds it<br > as a seperator between the output.
• Added --stdout_title and $stdout_title which allow you to toggle the title@hostname<br > from appearing in the output.
• Added --stdout_subtitles which allow you to toggle the Info: titles from appearing in<br > the output.

# Hiding subtitles
fetch --stdout --stdout_subtitles off

# Custom seperator
fetch --stdout disk gpu --stdout_seperator "  |  "

NOTE: stdout_subtitles and stdout_title only work when --stdout is used on its own.

Info

• You can now display info without a subtitle. eg. info memory
• Added --disable which allows you to stop an info line from appearing at launch.<br >
• Added --underline and $underline which allow you to toggle visibility of the<br > underline at launch and in your config.

# Stop cpu, gpu, disk and shell functions from being called
fetch --disable cpu gpu disk shell

Kernel: Added --kernel_shorthand and $kernel_shorthand to print less or more kernel info<br > Window Manager: Added support for $XINITRC<br > GTK: Fix incorrect GTK3 theme being displayed<br > CPU: cpu_shorthand: New substitutions<br > GPU: [Linux] Count the number of identical GPUs. eg. Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 x 2<br > Memory: [Mac OS X] Added wired memory to memory usage.<br >

Distro:

• Added support for showing OS architecture. eg Arch Linux x86_64, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit [1]
• Mac OS X: Added support for showing Max OS X build version. [2]
• Windows: Distro now displays Windows edition. eg. Windows 7 Ultimate

Shell:

• Added --shell_version and $shell_version to hide/show your shell's version.
• Added --shell_path and $shell_path to hide/show the path to your shell

Birthday:

• Added birthday which prints the age of your OS install.
• Added --birthday_shorthand and $birthday_shorthand to shorten/lengthen<br > the output of birthday.
• Added --birthday_time and $birthday_time to show/hide the time in the output.

Battery:

• Added battery which prints the battery usage percentage for each battery<br > in your system.
• Linux: Added battery_num which allows you to choose which battery to display, <br > it also takes the value all which will print all batteries line by line.
• Linux: Added battery_shorthand which when set to on prints each battery on the<br > same line like so:

# battery_shorthand="on"
Battery: 10%, 5%, 67%

# battery_shorthand="off"
Battery0: 10%
Battery1: 5%
Battery2: 67%

# If there's only a single battery in the system
# we ommit the numbered title.
Battery: 10%

• NOTE: This currently doesn't support BSD systems as we have no one to help us test
