Community plugin for DeepSeek Harness. Not an official DeepSeek AI product.
Conversation markdown still will not render a local file:// or Windows path. Official read_image remains the model-vision path. This plugin is for the human sitting at the card.
Install
From a clone (no build step — lib/ is the source):
dsh plugin --profile desktop add github:NecromanAlbert/dsh-show-mediaOr a local checkout:
dsh plugin --profile desktop add /path/to/dsh-show-mediaRestart the Desktop GUI after install. Then ask the agent to show a local file.
Listed on awesome-dsh-plugin once the catalog PR merges. npm is optional and not required for listing.

read_image. - Not a process-wide floating overlay.
