Images in "details & list" not showing.

in V3 I can show a thumbnail of the image of my item in the list view. This was important as I may have 10-100
different clamps in a warehouse, say, that are "clamps" but look different.
So if there are hundreds of images it is convenient to search for "clamps" and say,10 appear in a search...they can then 'visually' see what they were after and double-click it to bring up the clamp they recognise and its data, to input more details or update it.
I still had images from Version 3 of what I mean:

Home_Inventory_-_Document_Manager.Desktop--01.15PM-05.10.24_lhm.png
So if I search (and I have 100 clamps, say) I can list them WITH an image and visually confirm which one (especially if they are similar in shape).
Just a text line description makes it too hard and is convenient to see. I have lots of ideas for this and not sure why i can't "SEE" my images in the
"column chooser"
Here is a screenshot of column chooser in V3:

In Version 5:
I can't see photos either in column chooser OR even if I click ADD in case it wasn't added to column list.

I checked and they are in the HomeInventory FORM.

To be safe, in case it was because V5 is different in that regard, I added the 'photo ed' at the bottom in V5 (the rest of the form was converted from V3->V4
and was saved in my LIBRARY and dragged that FORM over into workspace, as normal.
Important note:
This is a completely NEW project started from FRESH "except" for dragging over the home inventory form as I didn't want to completely
start from nothing. I am SAVING my project after every time i do a section, like adding an insurance editor, just in case.

TL;DR
The images from a "PICTURE EDITOR" are not appearing for me in the 1728107946635.png list and details and that's the way I like to show
some of my projects, visually.

Thanks.
PS: I reread what I wrote above, twice and hope my English is clear. Hope you understand it.

You should be able to show images in your listview in the next update.

I don't want to hear anything about it taking too long to load because you tend to add too many images in your projects. ;) I would also try to make the images as small as possible.

You will need to double click the editor to open it and select the Show In ListView checkbox. The image you posted with the Show List and Detail is for the form.

Thank you..and it's not urgent...because i lost everything..almost everything.
It's been keeping me busy for a week. I haven't even had a chance to look in till now.
Like a STUPID idiot, i upgraded to 24H2 and it killed Outlook & alot of programs and I couldn't "roll back" because there was an error in the
windows. old folder.
Worse than that i had made a 23H2 image BU before and even a 24H2 but BOTH were corrupted (or maybe Hasleo is trying
to rip me off) as NONe of his backups that I did worked. I had to install Windows 3 times and days later still trying to
reinstall everything. I am so glad all my wedding and other important stuff were on another drive.
Sorry for the rant....NEVER trust a backup and if you have a few make MORE.
I had dozens of settings and config backups and of course, where do most apps store them? Documents :/ which
got overwritten anyway. Yeah, i had backed up these files but they're a few months out so not all is lost..except time.
Back A.S.A.P...
Thanks again T,
Robbie.

Dang sorry to hear that Robbie. I try to save backups of important files in several different locations.

Amazon S3 is pretty cheap for storing back ups. Google drive is good as well. Also have some external hard drives I use..

Yeah, I did that on most of my stuff. I completely redid the travel and inventory app and another one from scratch, saved ONLY on C. Now they're all SCRATCHED. Not to worry. We become wiser now, knowing these things. I have 2 other HDs and even an external 5TB drive..where all the Wed photos etc are and I was making backups of other stuff.. hadn't got to the ESB on C drive yet..cause I thought... it's just a simple upgrade..right? 😵‍💫,,, always learning by hard lessons. I won't make that mistake again. 🙋‍♂️
