timg is a tool that shows images in the terminal (iTerm2 only)
Repeat: iTerm2 only!
NOTICE: Currently, there seems to be a bug with iTerm2 that does not free memory. The current nightly of iTerm2 (Build 3.5.20220624-nightly) that I am using now, seems to fix this and releases the memory when the tab/window of the terminal gets closed.
It still does not free the memory when the scrollback gets cleared with something like:
alias "cls"="clear && printf '\e[3J'"
The memory gets freed when "Clear Buffer" from the menu is used!
This tool was basically made for making the problem reproducible by the developers of iTerm2
