Describe the Bug

Bookstack does not show any uploaded pictures in the 'Image Select' popup before any page has been saved on the installation, even though the uploaded pictures appear on the filesystem. The uploaded pictures appear after saving and reopening the page.

I installed Bookstack with docker-compose and podman; with bind-mount, volumes and without any storage specified. It has always behaved the same.

When you know this behaviour it is not a big deal, mainly posting this for others who might encounter the same thing.

Steps to Reproduce

Install bookstack (with docker-compose or podman).
Create a new book.
Create a new page, do NOT save.
Upload an image; it will be saved on disk, but not shown on 'Image Selector' popup.

Expected Behaviour

Pictures are shown in image selection popup, even before saving for the first time.

Screenshots or Additional Context

before saving the first page created on the installation

after saving and reopening the page

Browser Details

No response

Exact BookStack Version

v23.01.1

Hosting Environment

Thanks for reporting this @stfeb, Can confirm.
Now a few other recent less-clear image upload issue reports make sense 😅

Have assigned to be addressed for next feature release.
