===== First Setup =====
==== Image display ====
You can display images in the terminal! just add/modify in **~/.config/ranger/rc.conf**:
# Use one of the supported image preview protocols
set preview_images true
By default it is set with w3m:
set preview_images_method w3m
:!: If the images doesn't show up correctly (as for me) please set:
# Draw borders around columns?
set draw_borders true
==== VCS display ====
# Be aware of version control systems and display information.
set vcs_aware true
:!: Works with git/mercurial/bzr :!: \\
