[Question]: i upgrade ragflow-server image to 0.19, both chat and retrieval test can not show image.

After reviewing available information, I did not find any existing issues or discussions specifically about images not displaying in chat or retrieval tests after upgrading to ragflow-server 0.19.

Version 0.19 introduced enhanced image display, where images in Chat and Search should render directly within responses, and retrieval testing should retrieve images directly instead of just extracted text [release notes]. There are no documented configuration changes or required settings for enabling this feature, and no known workarounds or solutions for images not displaying were found.

A few things to check based on the current implementation and documentation:

• Only PDF files and images are supported for preview; other file types like txt and JSON are not.
• RAGFlow does not support uploading and analyzing non-OCR images during chat interactions, and there are no APIs for this feature.
• The Docker image edition may matter: the slim edition does not include embedding models, while the full edition does. If your use case depends on built-in models, ensure you are using the correct image.
• The IMAGE2TEXT_MDL setting in api/settings.py is crucial for image-to-text conversion. If this is misconfigured or missing, image processing may fail.

If you are using supported image types and the correct Docker image, and images still do not display, this may be a new issue introduced in 0.19. In that case, providing logs or error messages from the server could help further diagnose the problem.

To reply, just mention my name @dosu.

I have the same issue after a refresh installation. But I noticed that in the chunking section, there are images rendered directly, although they are not shown in the chat section. I wonder weather this is related to system prompt.
