Image file handling inconsistency

Bug Reports
1

I’ve noticed an inconsistency in how the LLM handles image files:

Working scenario:

  • When I directly attach an image or reference a file path explicitly, the LLM can properly tokenize and analyze the image content

Not working scenario:

  • When I ask the LLM to search for and open an image file (e.g., “search for and describe the dashboard screenshot”), it successfully:

  • Lists the files

  • Finds the correct image file

  • But then cannot actually open/see/tokenize the image content

Is there a way to make the LLM actually open and tokenize image files it finds through search operations? Or is this a known limitation where images must be explicitly attached/referenced to be processed?

Thanks!
