I tweaked my Sixel Gallery script a bit, adding an optional image path argument. If used, simply displays the specified image converted to sixel and ends. Using this small mod, I set up GIF, JPG, PNG, and BMP as Viewable File Types in SCFG. So now whenever someone browses directories containing images (e.g.: GIFs Galore CD-ROM), if they go into Extended Info for any image file and hit V to view it, they are shown a sixel preview of the image.

This same mod can be used in ansiview.js for artpacks containing image formats. I modded mine here so it shows a sixel version of any non-ANSI art file.
