FIM (Fbi IMproved) aims to be a highly customizable and scriptable image viewer targeted at the users who are confortable with software like the Vim text editor or the Mutt mail user agent. It is based on the Fbi image viewer and works in the Linux framebuffer console (it is not an X program). It features the ability to filter the list of images with regular expressions, Vim-like autocommands, command line autocompletion and history, completely customizable key bindings, external/internal scriptability, and much more.

Changes:
Internal windowing (with splitting, resizing, swapping) support. .xcf, .fig, .dia, and .svg files are now viewable via wrapper calls. Interactive command iteration (in the [n]<command key> form) has been introdocued. fim will try to run under screen and over SSH connections now. A custom framebuffer device, fonts, and gamma are supported. There are enriched compile-time options via the ./configure script. Vim-styled variable scoping g:,i:,v:,w: (local variables) has been added. Some bugs have been fixed. New variables and commands have been introduced.
