you just wait 10s and see empty body. with texteara, but it's an attachment. maybe preview media at the end of download, or update preview with each chunk?

It's currently not designed to handle the content type image/jpeg, but this is clearly a missing feature.

Missing this feature as well. Just being able to save response body content as a file, instead of it showing it as binary text, would already be good enough for me (and if you want to show content text, please don't load all binary data as text if it is a big image)!

Well any big chunk of data (e.g. above 1mb) should be truncated like in firefox devtools to not crash the textfield

Possibly related: export responses, based on a prior conversation held in the Discussions section. These would be two separate things, which also makes more probable to at least advance any of them:

• Displaying images in the program. Supposedly there are facilities in the framework to do that.
• Export the response contents, or the entire response object as HAR. This would benefit not just images but also any kind of response.

And of course, as a follow up, once there is a way to download files, any unrecognized content type that is not designed to be treated as text (application/pdf, application/octet-stream, audio/, video/) should not be rendered at all. Can show in the panel a message like "Binary content (24.1 kB)" and another button to trigger the "Export response" action.
