Implement image viewer screensaver about termsaver HOT 7 CLOSED

Closing this since we merged the relevant PR years ago.

Also to include img2txt:

The two examples provided write to files and are a bit big dependency wise. I have found one example that displays directly to terminal. https://github.com/yattsu/image_to_ascii

It could be adapted and folded into termsaver but I'm not sure how you feel about this. I've started a branch but will wait for your input before continuing on.

I like this!

Given the code is not a fully fledged program (does not contain any specs on copyright either), I could suggest that we invite the owner of that script to contribute to this branch but implement his concept to a screen here we could use.

Couple of options come to mind:

• path -> if a file (image) then just prints it out (maybe have further option to re-print it slowly like line by line, sleep, then re-do)
  -> if a folder, does the above for all images available in folder

How about that?

I can reach out to the author if you'd like and see what they have to say?

I was thinking something similar and I've already made a few changes to the filereader so it supports binary files via an optional parameter.
