@nicholasl00 note, when attempting to open an image file, one should use the Open With > Preview so that the actual image is displayed instead of it's sources.

We have a pull-request which has unfortunately not been completed yet to set the preview as the highest handler of image files (#5230) so that we align in behavior with VS Code.

@nicholasl00 one question: were you using theia as web or desktop application? because on my side, the notebook view is not totally showed in desktop case. I'm using your same vscode extension .

@davide-sergi you might have encountered the following issue (error displaying webviews in electron): #7156

Thanks @nicholasl00 @vince-fugnitto for quick replies.

@vince-fugnitto this is a big problem for my purpose. I had mistakenly assumed that they both supported it. Developing for convenience only on the web version.
I need to find some kind of workaround. For any suggests, I'm here :)

I noticed that the MS python extension, made available on open-vsx, is quite a bit bigger vs the one made available in the MS Marketplace. Maybe the result was not correctly web-packed, causing bigger transfers between BE and FE, than necessary?

Playing around it the source repo, I managed to get a .vsix that looks to be the correct size. Perhaps this one would work better?

I added it to the latest release, on my fork, in case you'd like to try it - the easiest is probably to add the URL directly in your app's package.json:
