Load images using FMS IDs #233

If my CSV only contains FMS IDs instead of file paths I should still be able to use BFF.

Hey @vianamp, what level of support would you want for this kind of item? Examples: 1) All metadata tags for the FMS IDs in the .csv are automatically brought in and useable in all features 2) All metadata tags for the currently focused file are brought in and shown in the details panel 3) Something in between 1 & 2...?

Also, would this make some workflow you have much easier (looking for a motivation/user-flow for this feature)?

I think 2 should be enough for this. We came across this in the EMT project where we had a CSV with FMS id only. Someone had to do the work of retrieving the corresponding paths from FMS and adding to the CSV. Once that was complete there was no longer a need for this specific feature. All to say this is not urgent and def not blocking anything at the moment.
