Shows a local image or short video in the current conversation card, with click-to-preview.
Install
# from GitHub (first run asks for allowBuilds approval — follow the hint, retry)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:NecromanAlbert/dsh-show-media
Any plugin you install runs third-party code with your own permissions — it can read your files, use your credentials, and reach the network, and tool approvals don’t sandbox it. GitHub-sourced plugins also run build scripts at install time — pnpm blocks those until you allow them, so an install can stop with ERR_PNPM_GIT_DEP_PREPARE_NOT_ALLOWED or ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS; dsh prints the exact key to add under allowBuilds in your profile’s pnpm-workspace.yaml, and the install works on the next run. Allowing a build is a trust decision: only install sources you trust, and pin a commit (github:owner/repo#sha).
README
dsh-show-media
Show a local image or short video in the current DeepSeek Harness conversation card.
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-media
Or a local checkout:
dsh plugin --profile desktop add /path/to/dsh-show-media
Restart 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.
What it does
| Tool | dsh_show_media · one argument file_path |
| Images | PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF |
| Videos | MP4, WebM, MOV, M4V, MKV · 64MiB cap |
| Display | original file bytes, not the official attachment downsample |
| Preview | click the image (or the video frame) · Esc / backdrop / × closes |
| Scope | this conversation card only · does not occupy shell.overlay |
Relative paths resolve against the session workspace.
{ "file_path": "C:\\path\\to\\photo.webp" }
What this is not
- Not a replacement for
read_image. - Not a process-wide floating overlay.
- Not a second gallery. It only customizes the
dsh_show_mediatool card.
