Pre-existing images not displayed in gallery

[dsgibbons]

First of all, thank you for making this. I much prefer using this to Decap CMS.

I have a gallery configured like so in config.yml:

collections: # A list of collections the CMS should be able to edit
  - name: 'myGallery' 
    label: 'My Gallery'
    folder: 'src/routes/myGallery'
    create: true
    fields:
      - { label: 'Title', name: 'title', widget: 'string' }
      - { label: 'Publish Date', name: 'date', widget: 'datetime' }
      - { label: 'Body', name: 'body', widget: 'markdown' }
      - { label: 'Thumbnail', name: 'thumbnail', widget: 'image' }
      - label: 'Gallery'
        name: 'galleryImages'
        widget: 'list'
        summary: '{{fields.image}}'
        field: { label: Image, name: image, widget: image }

When I go to the UI, pre-existing images don't appear in the gallery, even though they are in the Markdown metadata under galleryImages. If I re-add the images via Svelta CMS, the images appear in the UI. However, the resulting Markdown is unchanged, and if I reload the post in the UI, the images disappear again.

Hey, thanks for checking out Sveltia CMS! My quick local test couldn’t reproduce the issue. Do you use the GitHub backend or the local repository? #35 may be related, but not sure. 🤔

[dsgibbons]

I'm using the GitHub backend. I'm not sure if this is the same issue as #35. The gallery images show up fine in Decap CMS.

Hmm, I’m puzzled. What are your media_folder and typical image paths?

Sveltia CMS only displays images stored under the global and collection-specific media_folders (field-specific folders are not supported yet, but it’s probably not the case here). For example, If media_folder is static/uploads, static/images/favicon.png won’t show up in the gallery, which is intentional.

Ok I know the problem now.

In the markdown preamble, DecapCMS produces:

---
title: ...
date: ...
thumbnail: ...
galleryImages:
  - /uploads/img1.jpg
  - /uploads/img2.jpg
---

where SveltiaCMS produces:

---
title: ...
date: ...
thumbnail: ...
galleryImages:
  - image: /uploads/img1.jpg
  - image: /uploads/img2.jpg
---

I had previously created the markdown using DecapCMS, so the gallery images weren't viewable in Sveltia. I think I prefer the DecapCMS format - can Sveltia be changed to match?

Thanks for looking into this! So it’s a compatibility issue in Sveltia. I’ll fix it for sure.
