What would you like to see?

I have AnythingLLM Desktop v1.10 on Windows 11.

Support dragging Markdown files to AI. Currently, I asked the AnythingLLM (LLama3.2 Vision 11B) what it supports and it only supports: PDF, DOCX, TXT, ODT, RTF and DOC files.

Quick and easy fix: To process a Markdown file you could remove all Markdown symbols so it becomes plain text. But the purpose of Markdown markup is to break the document into sections using headers, subheaders, etc.

You can already drag a markdown file into the chat and it will ingest the whole file as text - since that is all markdown is. Drag it stright into the chat to do the whole document if the context window permits. If it does not, then it will be chunked and used for RAG

Oh wait, this is another case that the markdown file was dragged to AnythingLLM My Docs, but I didn't move it to the workspace. Sorry!
