Image Size check path

[brianteeman]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The schedule task Image Size Check lets you select the image folders to process. It is hard coded to /images as the parent and you can select a subfolder.

Describe the solution you'd like

The plugin should not be hard coded to the images folder but should support the folder defined in the plugin Filessystem-Local

Additional context

path to images should always respect the settings in the plugin and not be hardcoded anywhere

should support the folder defined in the plugin

Folder or folders (there might be multiple).

Backward-Compatible Solution Proposal: Dynamic Filesystem Root Support for

To enhance flexibility without breaking existing functionality, I propose an update to the field that optionally supports dynamic filesystem roots.

Implementation:

• Extend the directory attribute to accept a value like @filesystem:adapter, e.g. @filesystem:local
• If the prefix @filesystem: is detected, resolve the adapter name and fetch the root_folder or repeatable directories param from the plugin
• Loop through each configured directory (if multiple) and merge their subfolders into the options list
• If no match or plugin is missing, fallback to the existing hardcoded path like images

What Stays the Same:

• If directory="images" or any static folder is provided, existing logic remains unchanged
• No modifications required in existing XMLs, templates, or plugin configs
• Works exactly as before for all current use cases

Benefits:

• Adds support for dynamic folder roots based on active Filesystem plugin
• Completely non-breaking and opt-in
• Useful for future use cases like using S3, external media storage, or dynamic local folders

I'm happy to contribute the updated getOptions() method or submit a patch. Let me know if this can be considered for core inclusion.

Looks like this was reported many years ago. #36982

I would like to suggest that as that feature request is on page 22 this one is kept open and that one is closed for improved visibility

Done.
