Should we include images from Readme in .vsix file?

Hi @oliversen ,

There is no guideline/recomendation describing if you should or should not use include it but. The only warning I would point you is about SVG images, which vsce will check while packaging/publishing. You can find more details in Publishing extensions. Personally, I use both, embedded and external images, depending on their objectives. And have no issues.

I'm not sure the size of the vsix file is something you are worried about, or the need for offline distribution, but these are variables that you may also consider while deciding whether to include the images or not.

Hope this helps
