Is there a component that has the ability to display an image file (PNG, JPG, etc.) based on a filepath? I can’t get it to work with “Image” since that only works with internal Ignition images (as far as I know), and I have also tried the “Document Viewer” and “PDF Viewer” with no success.

Hacks gladly accepted as well 🙂

Thank you! I was searching “image filepath” which did not bring that up. That post has the info I needed.
