auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Store images and their resized thumbnails in an external storage backend, with alt text, public/private flags and a dedicated Image menu. Users can upload, replace and reorder images, and other modules can link images to their own records.

This module adds a new "Image" concept on top of the existing file storage system. Images are kept in a storage backend (for example a cloud or CDN location) instead of the Odoo database, and resized versions (thumbnails) are generated and stored alongside them.

Where it appears: - A new "Image" menu under the Storage menu opens a list, form and kanban view of images. - The image form shows the picture, its name, an alt text, the storage backend, the linked file and the generated thumbnails, with a "Replace File" button. - The kanban view shows image cards with drag-and-drop reordering.

Business rules and automatic behaviour: - When an image is created, its file type is automatically set to "image" and a default storage backend is taken from the system setting storage.image.backend_id. - The file name is automatically cleaned (slugified) and the original name is copied into the alt text, with dashes and underscores turned into spaces. - Deleting an image also deletes its linked file and thumbnails. - A "Replace File" wizard lets users swap the image content while keeping the same record. - A "Swap Storage Backend" action is available on images to move their files to another backend.

Access is controlled by an "Image Manager" group, and a rule limits file access to image and thumbnail files. Other modules can reuse the abstract image relation to attach images to their own records.
