Attaching an image into chat doesn't preview by default anymore

This is mostly feedback on the new Chat UI since 0.40.

Ever since 0.40, I’ve noticed that attaching an image into chat no longer shows a full preview of the image and instead attaches it as a file “tag” just like other @ mentions / files etc.

I’m sure this was intentional (as an improvement) and I get why, to save space. But the problem is that more often than not, I need to actually see what’s in the image so I can reference things about it, while thinking of how to prompt the AI. Previously, the image I’m prompting against was right there, so it was really convenient. Now, I have to have the image open elsewhere so I can reference it. I realize I can now click on the tag and it shows a preview, but the preview is so much smaller than it used to be.

I would be amazing if this could be optional. Or, if it could just preview by default (at full width of the chat UI like it did before).

I see images now preview by default when attaching in Chat, in 0.41. Sooo much better. Awesome guys & thanks!!
