Can I add more exported variables to .bashrc and not use a config file?

[David-Else]

I have export YTFZF_PREF="bestvideo[height<=?2160]+bestaudio/best"in the .bashrc.

I want to add thumbnail_viewer to be kitty. All the docs talk about a config file (I don't want to make). Can I add this to the .bashrc somehow? What is the syntax? Thanks

technically theres no support for exporting, but i suppose

export thumbnail_viewer=kitty should work

also as of 2.0 use video_pref as opposed to YTFZF_PREF

Another solution would be to have a wrapper script that looks somethibg like this

#!/usr/share/local/bin/ytfzf

thumbnail_viewer=kitty
video_pref=...

replace the shebang to the path to ytfzf

edit:

you could also have a function in .bashrc that looks something like

ytfzf() {
    video_pref="..." command ytfzf --thumb-viewer=kitty "$@"
}

im not 100℅ sure this works since i havemt tested it, but you can try

This does not work
