The pictures don't get loaded from the local disk.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

While following <a href="file://">, opening local images doesn't work yet-is

Sorry for late answer.

Unfortunately (as I know) there is no way in Chrome/Chromium to load local 
images
automatically. This is unavoidable restriction of Chrome security model. Even
extension can't pass it.
