Images stopped appearing in dataview's table

What I’m trying to do

I have a note property called “portada”, it’s just a direct link to an image outside the vault, ej “C:\Users\Imágenes\Portadas\Blackmythwukong.png”. Then use dataview to make it appear in a table.

The thing is, it just broke out of nowhere, I didn’t touch anything of the code, the image just stopped showing up.

I just updated to the lastest version, maybe that’s why it broke? But anyway, I don’t know how to fix it, I tried different ways of make the link an image in the table, but it just stays blank.

Did you update to the latest version of DataView, Obsidian, Windows, or some combination?

Does the image work outside that context, like if you just manually put it in a note?

If you look in Windows Explorer, is the image file still where that link points to?

Are you using a sync service like OneDrive that might offload the actual file and leave only a placeholder? If so, make sure to tell it to keep files downloaded (at least the ones in your vaults). If not, apparently sometimes OneDrive can be unexpectedly enabled, so check your settings to make sure it isn’t affecting your vault folders.

I only updated Obsidian. For some reason I didn’t have automatic updates, so it changed from 1.6 to 1.8 (I believe, I’m not 100% percent sure).
I tried using the image, but it also has stopped working.

It says the image is not found, and the second try seems know it’s an image but shows an icon(?)

The image it’s still in the folder and it hasn’t been moved.
I don’t have OneDrive nor a Cloud application that could mess with the files.

I tried some js, but it still doesn’t work.


I’m not really good with js, but I thik that’s the code? I also tried changing “p.portada” to ‘p.portada ? <img src="${p.portada}" width="100"> : “”,’ but the result is the same.

I uninstalled and reinstated. I only put dataview so there’s no plugin messing up the table. The error it’s still the same.



I also played with online Urls, they seem to work just fine. Only folder paths are affected.
