One major gripe I have with Home Assistant is the lack of a straightforward way to implement image file paths.
On most other types of OS’s you can simply upload the image, get the path, and use it in whatever.
However, in Home Assistant if you want to (for example) add a header image to a custom widget, you have to
-download an add on
-open web ui of add on
-discover that you have to use the WWW folder
-upload image
-then find out that the www folder is actually referred to as /local/ everywhere else
-then it works.
I feel like this process could be improved greatly by simply allowing the Media dashboard to upload images to the WWW folder and quickly retrieve paths to use.
This is just my first impression as a new HA user, so feel free to close this if it’s not going to work, however I think this could help new users figure out how to interact with their uploaded media without needing to jump through hoops.
