How to preview image in tmux in iTerm2

Question

iTerm2 is able to display images within the terminal. I'm using the imgcat script and it works fine, but when I'm inside of tmux it does nothing. Is there a way to be able to preview images inline in tmux in iTerm2?

The version of `imgcat` you posted there DOES include some `tmux` workarounds; if it doesn't work, it may be a better idea to report it to https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/issues. — Mingye Wang, Sep 17 '15 at 05:02

It is working now. Here is a screenshot using the current imgcat script along with

iTerm 3.0.2
tmux 2.2 (MacPorts)

on OSX El Capitan (10.11.5):

The developer is very active, and if it was not working last September there may be a related bug-report/issue number (there are many open issues mentioning imgcat).

It's still not working for me. I updated imgcat and I'm on iTerm 2 (3.0.20160606-nightly). What version of tmux do you have? I'm on 2.1. – aharris88 Jun 29 '16 at 17:35
Doesn't work netiher in **screen** nor **tmux**. – j4hangir Dec 14 '16 at 23:26
@j4hangir have you checked your version of `screen` or `tmux` against the ones specified in this answer? – roaima Dec 14 '16 at 23:28
They don't match exactly of course, while I am using **tmux 2.3** and **iTerm 3.0.12**. – j4hangir Dec 15 '16 at 01:47
