Image file search in ACP attachment section not working?

[Canis]

I've tried with both file names from our uploads folders and image in forum posts, none are found.

Example in Client Area.

You are searching for the thumbnail there, and not the original image.

Example:-

something.png.4a45406aa3adedeb508fc7c996e044b7.png

Thats the thumbnail for something.png

Thanks.
Not sure what you mean by thumbnail.

With reference to the info given in Client Area:
I open an image from a post in a new tab. Which shows the image. Then extract the filename part from that URL.
Using this filename in ACP attachment search gives no result.
 

[Marc]

Because you are using the processed name of the item that is used on the page, not the original file name.

[Canis]

Ok. This is pretty confusing as what you call "thumbnail" is not a thumbnail, it's the actual full-size image that is shown on the forum. And stored in uploads.

How am I going to find which post an image in the uploads folder belongs to?

Im not sure I understand your question there. As I said, you can use search, just dont add the extra to the end of it, as I mention above

 

So if you have a file

thisimagenamehere.png.4a45406aa3adedeb508fc7c996e044b7.png

you would be searching

thisimagenamehere.png

If I search on that I get 4475 matches.

[Marc]

Are you saying you get that many that are incorrect, or do they actually match?

[Canis]

They match.

[Marc]

Then Im not sure on the issue there. The search, from what you said there, is correct

[Canis]

So, as in my example, the search function might be unable to tell in which post an image is used?

[Marc]

It can only tell you where an image of a set name has been used. So if you have that many items uploaded with simply image.jpg for example, then you will see those many items and many locations
