Description
Feature Request
It would be nice if cpptools knew how to visualize images, something like Image Watch for Visual Studio:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualCPPTeam.ImageWatch2019
Is this feature planned? Having a 100% compatibility with the extension would be amazing (support in natvis), but even if it would have to be configured differently it would still be super useful.
