insomnia-plugin-base64-file's Issues

Add an option to include MIME

Dear @joetyson

Thank for the plugin, it is very useful.
I guess you should add an option to include or not the FILE HEADER.

The file header is a declaration of the file type and format usually needed for those WEB API that need to save\post elaborate the file in somehow.

E.g.: Now i must do this within insomnia

{
  "image": "data:image/jpeg;base64,{% base64file 'file path', false %}",
  "pdf": "data:application/pdf;base64,{% base64file 'file path', false %}"
}

So it will be very cool to include or not the string data:image/jpeg;base64, maybe automatically recognized by choosen file.

For reference here: MDN MIME types

Documentation is needed

writing something in README file will be helpful, thanks

Reload dialog show an error "missing file"

Dear @joetyson

I'm using your useful plugin and it works perfectly.
There is boring bug in case, after configured properly the dialog, i want to re-open it and change "QUOTE" flag.

The dialog seems to loose the file path and, specially in windows, seems to loose the path separator ""; so i must browse again for the file.
