Describe the issue

Since upgrading to 2.5.0 (Docker image) I can no longer add an author image via file path, it only accepts a URL. Is there a way to still add an image by file path, or is this a bug?

I store author profile pics in the /metadata/authors folder.

Authors that had a locally hosting image I had added previously by file path prior to upgrading are still working, but there doesn't seem to be a way to add any new ones.

I have tried putting a local path (as I would in the previous version) in the URL field but it rejects it as an invalid URL.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Go to 'Authors' in Audiobookshelf lefthand tab
  2. Click on the pencil on an author
  3. Only a URL field exists where previously there was a field that accepted local path or URL.

Audiobookshelf version

2.5.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Oct 31, 2023):

Putting in local file paths is no longer supported. The main reason is the only supported path is /metadata/authors so it didn't make sense to allow this to be editable.

I understand though that since there is no way to upload an image locally the workaround has been to enter the local filepath. I will include a local file upload button in the next release.

Main issue for this is #498

Fyi you could enter the local filepath directly in the sqlite db if you need this now.

Thank you - an upload would be a great solution :)
