Package: fbi
Version: 2.09-1+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
fbi prints messages to stderr in successful operation:
% fbi foo.jpg >/dev/null
using "Inconsolata-16", pixelsize=16.67
file=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/inconsolata/Inconsolata.otf
map: vt05 => fb0
% fbi --noverbose foo.jpg >/dev/null
using "Inconsolata-16", pixelsize=16.67
file=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/inconsolata/Inconsolata.otf
map: vt05 => fb0
Please disable such output (at least via an option). There is already
a --verbose flag; perhaps the messages could be displayed in --verbose
mode only.
My use-case: I'm invoking fbi from an interactive REPL-type program, and
I don't wish such "normal operation" messages to be displayed to the
user. However, I don't want to discard fbi's stderr entirely, in case
it prints an error message that should be presented to the user.
Thanks,
Daniel
