😎 can I display the image in this MD file? it’s correctly stored in my computer. The MD file is correct. Just want to know if I can visualize it in VS code. SHORT. Brief answer. Don’t educate me

🤖 Yes, you can visualize images in Markdown files in VS Code. If the image path is correct and the image exists on your computer, you should see it when you open the Markdown preview. Use the command palette (`Ctrl+Shift+P` on Windows/Linux, `Cmd+Shift+P` on macOS) and type “Markdown preview” to open the preview side by side.😎 Is there a way to directly open the preview when I double click on a file I have from windows explorer? Without having to do Ctrl+Shift+P and find ‘Markdown preview’ every time I open the file from windows explorer
🤖 Yes, you can set Visual Studio Code to automatically open the Markdown preview when you open a Markdown file. Here’s what you can do:😎 there’s no “Open Settings” exactly
1. Open the `settings.json` file in VS Code. You can open the Command Palette and search for “Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)”.
2. Add the following setting to the JSON file:json "workbench.editorAssociations": { "*.md": "vscode.markdown.preview.editor", }
This tells VS Code to open `.md` files with the Markdown preview by default. Remember to include this within the outermost curly braces and ensure proper JSON format with commas if it’s not the last setting in the file.

🤖 You’re right; the exact option to open the `settings.json` file directly can vary. In your case, you should choose “Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)” from the Command Palette to edit your user settings directly in the JSON file. Once opened, you can add the `”workbench.editorAssociations”` setting as mentioned earlier.😎 {
“git.enableSmartCommit”: true,
“git.confirmSync”: false,
“notebook.cellToolbarLocation”: {
“default”: “right”,
“jupyter-notebook”: “right”
},
“aws.telemetry”: false,
“remote.SSH.remotePlatform”: {
“dgr-ec2-test”: “linux”,
“dgr-ec2”: “linux”
}
}
this is what I have. Are you sure what you suggested can be added? Do it
🤖 Absolutely, you can add the Markdown preview association setting to your existing `settings.json` file. Your updated settings would look like this:😎 can I add comments in the JSON file?json { "git.enableSmartCommit": true, "git.confirmSync": false, "notebook.cellToolbarLocation": { "default": "right", "jupyter-notebook": "right" }, "aws.telemetry": false, "remote.SSH.remotePlatform": { "dgr-ec2-test": "linux", "dgr-ec2": "linux" }, "workbench.editorAssociations": { "*.md": "vscode.markdown.preview.editor" } }
Just copy and paste this into your `settings.json` file and save it. This should set the Markdown files to open in preview mode by default.
