The new assets panel can't read media from the outputs folder.

You can find that I can load an image from the output when using the Load Image(from output) node. However, in the new media panel, it's empty.

The new media assets panel is still in development and only enabled in development mode, so it may not fully support reading or displaying files from the outputs folder yet. The panel fetches files using a different mechanism than the Load Image(from output) node, which can lead to inconsistencies—especially if the panel's indexing or filtering logic doesn't match the node's direct access to output images. This is a known limitation and may be resolved as the feature matures and moves out of development mode. For now, the Load Image(from output) node remains the most reliable way to access output images in the UI.

In the OSS version, the outputs shown in the Media Asset panel come from the queue’s execution history, so the records disappear when the server is restarted. The images you see in LoadImage from output are being loaded directly from the folder. Because of this, once the server restarts, the Media Asset panel may no longer match those outputs.

I’ll think about what the better approach would be here and work on improving this behavior.
