That would be very very helpful as for someone who works with pictures currently it’s exhausting to make things work and it’s not even close to the way I would prefer, hope you add some deeper integration with pictures Currently there’s no way I could see all images I have in a certain page Not through the filter in image type Not though the set/collection cause it doesn’t see added files, only pages And I cant put them quickly into collection/ set as objects as well And even if I will, images still look like “files” though any view in a collection, not like normal gallery Making its default name not just “image” but something more informative like date or place where it was put would also help a lot (it happens when it’s some random pic from the internet simply copied to the note) ---

A few clarifications: - you can see images in a query or collection by adding Object type property and filter by Image - if the images had links, that would be logical and very practical in your case. You would just need to sort by link to see where an image is placed. Somes FR you can vote and comment with your user case : > [@Images shoud have links to source object](https://community.anytype.io/t/images-shoud-have-links-to-source-object/22025): > > WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? I think images in database should have links to source object, where they were inserted. E.g. I have note Cats and page Dogs. I’ve attached one picture inside Cats and two inside Dogs. In image set grid I want to see links to Cats and Dogs. HOW COULD IT BE DONE? Auto add link to source object. REAL WORLD USE CASES Image set grid view. → if the images had links, that would be logical and very practical in your case. You would just need to sort by link to see where an image is placed. > [@Drag and drop files into collections](https://community.anytype.io/t/drag-and-drop-files-into-collections/12504): > > WHAT IS THE BUG Before, we could drag and drop images into full page collections. But not in inline collection (see FR here : [Drag and drop files to Collection](https://community.anytype.io/t/drag-and-drop-files-to-collection-add-them-to-collection/9730) ). Now, it no longer seems to work. And it’s it’s really embarrassing. Looking for a photo collection? I used to slip them into the collection, now… I don’t know. Want to add a pdf to a collection, or music, etc.? I used to be able to do it with a single mouse movement. Now… I’ll pass and wait for the bug to be fixed, thanks wink … → Drag and drop an image (or anything else) into a collection, inline or not, is something I do a lot… but not in Anytype, which doesn’t support it ☹ ---

Unfortunately it doesn’t really help in my case Picture should be bigger to be recognized, and in any type of view in query it’s really has really tity icon so its no use And usually I have several groups of images inside a page - and in that case they won’t be in query at all just the page they are inside I would prefer to see them as real gallery and filter by place they are put into (by page) I don’t usually have time to put a tag to every single one of them, there’s a lot 🥲 Thank you for the links, I’ll definitely vote
