Hello everyone.  
We have a View in Perspective that needs to display an image from the gateway’s local file system. I try the method described in another topic. I save image in directory on gateway: `C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\webserver\webapps\main\Files\my_image.jpeg`.

I set `Image.props.source` to “https://\<gateway\_name\>:\<gateway\_port\>/Files/my\_image.jpeg”.

But unfortunately, the image does not appear on the view and we don't get error about wrong source.  
How display image from the gateway's local file system in view in perspective?
