Ranger (kitty) image previews not working

Worked last week, not working now:

extra/ranger 1.9.4-1 (474.5 KiB 2.5 MiB) (Installed)
extra/kitty 0.37.0-1 (13.3 MiB 45.9 MiB) (Installed)
extra/kitty-shell-integration 0.37.0-1 (25.5 KiB 83.4 KiB) (Installed)
extra/kitty-terminfo 0.37.0-1 (4.4 KiB 3.6 KiB) (Installed)
extra/python-pillow 11.0.0-1 (850.4 KiB 4.2 MiB) (Installed)

any ideas? $TERM is set to xterm-kitty.

Is the image preview method in your ranger’s rc.conf file set to kitty?

Edit: and what version of imagemagick you have installed?

Yup, as I said, worked last week, not this.

set preview_images true
set preview_images_method kitty
3 extra/imagemagick 7.1.1.41-1 (8.7 MiB 23.0 MiB) (Installed)

But that is irrelevant - it uses python-pillow.
