  • I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
  • I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.

Area

apps/desktop

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start T3 Code with a remote/VPS workspace.
  2. Open a remote project directory.
  3. In the file explorer, navigate to an image file.
  4. Click the .png file to open it in the preview/editor.
  5. Observe that the file is visible in the tree, but the image preview fails.

Expected behavior

T3 Code should read and preview image files from the remote workspace, the same way it opens normal code/text files.

Actual behavior

Code/text files in the same remote workspace open correctly, but image files such as .png fail to load.

The preview shows:

Failed to read workspace file
'/public/favicon.png'
in '/root/coolprojectiguess'
### Impact
Major degradation or frequent failure
### Version or commit
T3 Code v0.0.28
### Environment
- macOS T3 Code Desktop app - Remote environment: Linux VPS
### Logs or stack traces
```shell

Screenshots, recordings, or supporting files

                          [Bug]: Image files fail to open in remote/VPS workspace, while code files work #3792

                          @Aculnaj

                          Before submitting

                          • I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
                          • I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.

                          Area

                          apps/desktop

                          Steps to reproduce

                          1. Start T3 Code with a remote/VPS workspace.
                          2. Open a remote project directory.
                          3. In the file explorer, navigate to an image file.
                          4. Click the .png file to open it in the preview/editor.
                          5. Observe that the file is visible in the tree, but the image preview fails.

                          Expected behavior

                          T3 Code should read and preview image files from the remote workspace, the same way it opens normal code/text files.

                          Actual behavior

                          Code/text files in the same remote workspace open correctly, but image files such as .png fail to load.

                          The preview shows:

                          Failed to read workspace file
                          '/public/favicon.png'
                          in '/root/coolprojectiguess'
                          ### Impact
                          Major degradation or frequent failure
                          ### Version or commit
                          T3 Code v0.0.28
                          ### Environment
                          - macOS T3 Code Desktop app - Remote environment: Linux VPS
                          ### Logs or stack traces
