# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Desktop WSL path handling for inline media images on Windows

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These three items all concern the desktop app on Windows with WSL, covering POSIX media paths and file-read handlers, and one issue reports newly generated MEDIA images not rendering inline. Two are fixes that bridge or route WSL paths through the gateway; the titles do not show whether the problem is settled.
