Yazi plugin to preview application/epub+zip files

Show case

• yazi
• At least one of the following epub-thumbnailer command line tools:
  • epub-thumbnailer, or
  • gnome-epub-thumbnailer (available as gnome-epub-thumbnailer package in Ubuntu and arch)

git clone https://github.com/kirasok/epub-preview.yazi.git ~/.config/yazi/plugins/epub-preview.yazi

or with ya-pack

ya pack -a kirasok/epub-preview

Add this to your yazi.toml:

[[plugin.prepend_previewers]]
mime = "application/epub+zip"
run = "epub-preview"

• Make sure that the epub-thumbnailer is installed and available in your PATH. A command like this should work:

  gnome-epub-thumbnailer [something.epub] [output.png]

• Check your yazi.toml: If there is another previewer with zip file handling, epub-preview might be overwritten, e.g.: with the definition blow, ouch will run, not epub-preview:

  [[plugin.prepend_previewers]]
  mime = "application/*zip" 
  run = "ouch" 

• Check Yazi log file (see yazi.rs where to find it)
