broot: broot + kitty does not display images in high resolution
Describe the bug
My kitty terminal is correctly set up and capable of showing high resolution images with its icat native protocol, but somehow broot only shows low resolution images:

I cannot run BROOT_LOG=debug br on my Debian machine; can’t try on my other machine running Solus right now:
user@debian-sid:/$ BROOT_LOG=debug br
thread 'main' panicked at 'Log file can't be created: Os { code: 13, kind: PermissionDenied, message: "Permission denied" }', /home/user/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/cli-log-2.0.0/src/init.rs:30:14
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
To Reproduce
- Open
kittyand runbroot(tested with 1.2.2, 1.2.8 and 1.6.1 installed withcargoon Solus as well as Debian). - <kbd>Ctrl</kbd><kbd>→</kbd> on an image.
Expected behavior
The image should be shown in high resolution since kitty supports that and broot too. See example in nnn:

Configuration (please complete the following information):
brootversion: 1.2.2, 1.2.8, 1.6.1- OS: Solus OS, Debian Sid (as an LXC container within Sailfish OS; screenshots above)
- Version: both Solus and Debian Sid are rolling
