Readable previews for attached files is Lovable's Agent feature: Click any file you attach in chat to open a preview.
Click any file you attach in chat to open a preview. Code files now open with syntax highlighting in the code editor's colors, soft-wrapped lines, and the language named instead of a bare file extension. Markdown files open as formatted text, with a Preview and Source switch for the raw file. Files over 1 MB can't be previewed, but they still work as context.
