Hey guys!

Is there any way to render images inline (inside the browser window) in MeshChatX?
Right now, I can download the image and view open it in my os' image viewer, or open a super low res (unintelligible) version of the image in another tab, which  isn't really what I want.

Are you using the latest version of MeshChatX?

'pipx list' -> reticulum-meshchatx 4.9.3

Perhaps 'pipx upgrade-all' again?

(Note: I'm somebody else; and I upgraded to 4.10.1 today)

Inline images work fine (yay, very happy!!) - but image downloading newer worked for me, for some reason. The previews work, but clicking on "download" just gives me a spinning wheel that gives up after some time. Always stays at 0%. Still the same now. Inline images appear nearly instantly.

I was on 4.8. Updating to v4.10.6 helped, and I'm now able to see inline images!
